Met a founder today who spent over 400k and more than a year and a half trying to launch. Still hasn't. Completely burned out.
I had the exact same problem more than 3 years ago. Burned out. Stopped everything.
Came back with full focus, spent a year learning everything properly and built my own system from scratch. A system that can create any type of software, in any niche, at scale.
Now I launch what took him 18 months in 24 hours. Full compliant backend, security, compliance, everything included.
The difference was never money or talent. It was having the right system and understanding the fundamentals before trying to scale.
Anyone else gone through the burnout phase and come back stronger?
