Ask HN: Single startup founder how do you stay motivated?

I don't think we should stay alone.

I have been doing this mistake for too long to be honest. Now one of the best focus I've is literally speaking with the client directly and having a bunch of people who do not specifically work on the project but follow me in my adventure by coaching me.

I can't remember the article, but I read somewhere on HN that a good way to start being a consultant in the tech world is to stop selling your code.

I figured that it is just the same going from TMA to SASS except you are now renting the code instead of selling it.

So:

  - Learning new things
  - Thrive for the ability to put into question anything properly
  - Getting people around that understand what you are trying to do (CUT down those that are toxic, not those that might just have a different opinion, this is the hard part where you need to be able to put your ego aside and where picking the right persons will help a lot)
  - Go meet your clients !
  - Do not follow trends

Find a garden and a stream. When you get thirsty, you go to the stream and drink some inspiration. When you get hungry, you go to the garden, pick and eat fruits of motivation.
