Founders

Last year (Q4 2023) I did about $1.5k in sales. This quarter to date, I’ve done almost 5x the amount of revenue as a part time solo founder. December isn’t done yet so hoping to make it 6x-7x by Dec 31st. 

Slowly then faster ☺️

🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I make beautiful, functional, and ethically made candles at humankind.place

Massive congrats on this milestone Sam 👏 
What are the main things you’d say contributed to this growth over last year?

If I had to be honest it wouldn’t be positive traits of myself. 
- I believe I am not smart, so I compensate by working an unhealthy amount of hours
- I am a control freak. I’m obsessed with controlling the outcome of my work. What I plan to do is exactly what will happen. I am so obsessed with getting the “right” outcome I will do anything it takes. My ego is never hurt by getting things wrong, because I am so obsessed with being right.

These traits are good for founding a company. For the soul, not so much. Thanks for helping me reflect!
