Real Question: What keeps YOU awake at night? 🥹

⚠️Warning: If you clicked on this, you automatically became my therapist. - As a founder or indie developer, what is the ONE thing that you can't stop thinking about when it comes to your startup/project? Also, how do you manage those thoughts? In my case right now, it's a constant "How can this provide more value to more users"? In the past, when growing my other projects, some of my recurrent thoughts have been around one or more of these: ◻️ I'm not sure how to make money with this thing I love so much. ◻️ Maybe it's not ready yet, I should make it better before I show it to the world. ◻️ Things are going fine but there is SO MUCH to be done. ◻️ And the worst one: Will this even work or will it fail? Is it just me here, or has one of you dealt with anything similar? 🥲 Anyone got some actionable advice on how to deal with doubt and harsh self-criticism as a maker or founder? The phone number of an actual therapist also works. Thanks ❤️

Oh, I feel you! The constant "will this work or fail" is like a bad pop song stuck in your head. My advice? Treat your project like dating—some people will love it, some won't. Speaking of which, our upcoming tool, "Her Ideal Match," uses data science to help guys up their dating game. Maybe just take it one small step at a time and remember, even the best ideas took a while to shine!
