Over the past 20 years, if you just stayed in the market, you made about 10% a year, which means your money doubles every 7 years.
If you missed the best 10 days, you cut your returns in half to 5%.
Miss the best 20? You basically earned nothing for two decades.
Time in market > timing the market.

Me today with strong CMO at $40m ARR company: "I built you a new marketing site in @Replit. I just had 20 minutes during a board meeting, what do you think."
CMO: "Woah. That's a lot better than we have today. How did you do it?"
Me: "I vibe'd it in @Replit. First I analyzed everything strong about your competitors' sites in Claude. Then I took that output and gave it to Replit and told it to remake your site using that, and the top 5 reasons customers buy from your #1 competitor."
CMO: "Wow. Do you have the number for this Replit guy? It took how long?"
Me: "There's no 'guy'. I vibe'd it myself during the boring parts of a board meeting. Your board meeting. I had about 15 minutes."

You have no idea how fucking amazing this is.
90% of people don’t act on their ideas. And for the few who do, 90% give up too early.
Making $1K/month with little startups built solo is already top 0.1%.
The problem is social media only showing you the top 0.1% (the guys making $100K/month) of the top 0.1% (you).
Now, people see my tweets because I’ve grown a little audience.
But it took me two years to make $1.
Two fucking years of complete void. No support from anyone, no traction, nothing but shit feelings crippling every day. “I’m useless”.
I pushed through. Hell, I even gave up in 2021 and got a job for a while.
But I kept building and eventually everything flipped.
Every now and then, I think about the first 5/6 years of entrepreneurship void and I’m filled with bliss because none of what happened recently could have been possible without the pain and failures.
If you’re building, you’re fucking awesome.
And don’t give up, because it’s all worth it in the end.
Lately I've been feeling a sense of failure, burnout, and emptiness.
My two main products (blawgy and foodbuddy) both make some fun money (blawgy at ~$600/mo, foodbuddy at $150/mo).
Just two weeks ago I signed a contract with a F500 on another old project for $10k/yr.
When I type that stuff out I agree it's something to be proud of.
But I live in Denver and am at the stage in my life where I want to have a family. I need about 10x the profit I'm making now to sustain my lifestyle.
Frankly, it feels unattainable.
But as I type that, I hear another voice in my head that says I just need to work harder.
I'm not really sure what to do at this point. Is me not giving up what will lead me to success?
Or is some form of acceptance with a new approach the wiser option?
