Reflecting on my first month of working on ProjectionLab full-time.A month ago, I finally left my corporate job and went all-in on ProjectionLab! 🎉I have been building PL in public since the beginning. And over the past two and a half years of bootstrapping, it has grown to $24k+ / mo.In the beginning, I never would have imagined this was possible. And without the support and encouragement from all of you in the PL community, it would not have been! That is something I will always be grateful for. 🙏Now that I am full-time on PL without a safety net, I’ve noticed that one thing I struggle with is giving myself permission to ever relax or take a break.Solopreneurship feels a little bit like the movie It Follows. 👻The focus and clarity from going full-time is incredible. But whenever you are not moving forward, you know “It” is slowly and relentlessly catching up to you.Do you finally have the freedom and flexibility to take a morning off and enjoy a hobby? Sure! … or maybe that’s when It will finally strike 😳My hope was that going full-time on PL would restore some of the work/life balance that has been absent for the past 2.5 years. But I see that will only be possible if I actually allow it to happen.In 2024, I think I’d like to work on that.So here’s a question:How many of you are successful at carving out guilt-free relaxation time?And how would you describe your approach to balancing growing (and worrying about) a business with the other things in life you care about?As always, feel free to shoot me an email or message on Discord or Twitter any time.Cheers,Kyle
