Motivational Quotes from IH

When developing my side projects, i always read the quotes below when i lose focus or burn out or start to wonder what am i doing.

1. And you’re not off the hook just because you have an amazing launch. Nearly 50,000 people checked Gumroad out on the first day, which was great! Even more saw our fundraising announcement(s). But in terms of real customers, almost none of them came from all that fanfare. It was a lot of really consistent growth over a long period of time–mostly driven, especially at the beginning, by a hard-working sales team - Gumroad

2. People always ask me this, and the answer is always super boring: we sent a lot of emails. That's really it. We scoured the web for people who could benefit from a product like Gumroad, and then told them about it. Literally thousands of times. That's the only way, really, when you're young and no one cares or knows who you are, to get folks to use your product. - Gumroad

3. So many times I could have quit. So many times it seemed the the world was telling me to quit. I could have quit when it was hard, or a new competitor launched to fanfare, or when I did not know how I was going to make payroll.Being naive enough to think I could succeed eventually willed Pagely into existence. Do not underestimate the power of not knowing any better. - Pagely
