First paycheck!

After about 20 months of grinding on features, getting feedback, getting rejected left and right, failing, "doing things that don't scale" and all the accumulated experience with growing CloudForecast (www.cloudforecast.io), we finally feel comfortable enough to write our FIRST paycheck to ourselves at the end of the month and have payroll moving forward.

Although we plan on celebrating, we're definitely not at all one bit satisfied with the progress. We don't plan on letting off the gas and if anything, it has made us even more hungry since nothing is ever handed to you while doing a startup. It's a weird feeling to still feel uneasy about our progress even though this is a huge milestone.

I wrote a bit more about our surviving our first year full-time and some lessons learned a few months ago - (https://www.indiehackers.com/post/survived-year-one-full-time-a-few-lessons-learned-getting-to-ramen-profitability-ebb15d29e6).

Never settle!
