People are only just now starting to talk about the mental fortitude it takes to bootstrap a company. It’s really hard to watch your friends and competition take rounds & round of funding…meanwhile you’ll have an app barely growing. I’ve learned to focus on myself, our company, our metrics and our customers. Be happy for everyone else’s “success” but do not compare yourself to anyone, it only brings envy and discontentment, both emotions are the antithesis of success.
