The solopreneur life is often romanticized. Here are 5 downsides of bootstrapping your own company:
-
1. Nothing happens when you finish a task ... tumbleweeds!
-
2. You need to find your own motivation ... for everything, every day.
-
3. It gets really lonely at times, even for introverts.
-
4. At the end of the day you feel like you accomplished nothing because there is always so much more to be done.
-
5. For every nice picture with cocktails at the beach there's also a sleepless night of problem solving and customer support.

I know people who have given up against these odds, it's not a shameful thing. Neither is working a 9-5 if it fulfills you!
