Learning 1:
If you somehow see an opportunity (your side project makes more then $1000 /month), go for it and don’t try to split yourself into different projects. We could have achieved the $30,000 much earlier and saved two to three years if we had stopped making excuses.
Learning 2:
Even if you have a small project, it doesn’t mean it will stay small if you work on it. At $2-3k we kind of said okay, that’s a small project, it’s not worth the time for two people. Only after it grew organically and confirmed our initial assumptions were we confident and bullish. => Be bullish from the get-go.
