Being a solopreneur is not all it's hyped to be. Things are much easier if you have someone to help you along the way

Of course, it depends on your project though

Well, I guess the most important thing I learned was that I can be capable of digging into any field that is required.

Back in 2018, when I started planning for the android app of my dream, I didn't have any experience in developing apps before, however, after going through some online courses from Udemy and Coursera, I managed to develop the app.

Going further, I needed to dig into the design field for my app UI and screenshots.

And after then, when I thought of creating Branition, I didn't even know how to create a simple website (though android is more difficult than creating a website, I knew that only :)

And now the story continues in digging into SEO 😅

Built multiple products and built amazing ecosystem for Micro SaaS at microsaashq.com

A few things that I learnt about myself
- Initially I was more into tech but I realize non-tech like sales, marketing, content is fun too and I am enjoying those things too.
- I can research better. Most of my earlier product decisions were casual on what to build, what feature to add. Now I go by data and research better.
- Time can be better optimized by techniques like Pomodoro.

Taking the leap to become a solo-preneur has been an incredible journey so far. It has taught me a great deal about myself, what I am capable of, and where I am going. One of the most valuable lessons that I have learned is the power of self-motivation. Starting something on my own took substantial determination and inner drive to keep going when tasks seemed too tough or didn't seem worth it anymore.

This experience has made me realize how strong my work ethic can be and that facing obstacles with enthusiasm can be very rewarding. Becoming a solopreneur has also given me newfound confidence in my abilities to create something from nothing and develop my vision into reality. Overall, this journey as a single entrepreneur has allowed me to better understand myself in terms of resilience, drive, commitment, and creativity.
