$1K MRR milestone complete

Getting your first $1k MRR ever as a startup founder is the hardest part.

In the past few months we had our major falls - database storage was not scaling properly and all email sending stopped, we had Stripe API issues and minor bags, sometimes CAC was crazy as hell and too expensive.

What did we do? We didn't stop. We believe that we're doing a useful product that has its market fit and great future.

Lessons learned:

You never have enough time when building a startup. But you always have to find some.

You always have a full backlog of mind-blowing ideas. But you need to stay focused on what's important.

You never know what's going to happen tomorrow (it's always something new). But you need to be prepared at all times.

Never stop. Get your first $1K MRR, then first $10K MRR and never, never stop growing your product.
