#StartupSuccess #ProudestAchievement #MotivationMonday
Hey fellow entrepreneurs! 👋 What’s your proudest achievement with your startup? It’s important to celebrate those victories and use them as fuel to keep pushing forward. Here’s a possible solution for those moments when you need a boost:
– Reflect on your journey and the progress you’ve made 🌟
– Set new goals and milestones to strive towards 🎯
– Surround yourself with a supportive community of fellow founders 👫
– Take breaks when needed to avoid burnout and recharge ⏸️
Let’s share our success stories and inspire each other to keep making strides towards our goals! 🚀 #EntrepreneurialJourney #CelebrateSuccess
I have things I’ll forever be proud of and losses/failures I feel I should’ve been able to avoid. Between my two startups, the software we’ve launched has helped over 18 million people navigate some portion of their healthcare journey.
One of my investors put that into context for me. He sent a congrats email, with the subject line “That’s over 5% of the U.S. population. WOW!”
It may be the type of founder I am, but I don’t celebrate the wins nearly long enough and I forget them far too quickly. I spend more time planning for the next one and/or obsessing over my latest mistake, that shouldn’t have happened.
I am bootstrapped from Day 1!! I got a business that my parents started, scaled big, and then went back to 0 (closed). Start with 0 again, age 22, lost mother under 6 months of trying to get business back, lost father in few years. Building business back from debt !! Our networth was back to almost 0 when i started off, the only thing I got in hand was the name of the company and nothing else. Today, we are cash positive, trying to work our way up, have 12-15 employees, I am known in the industry, get to attend events and give talks, get respect from intellectuals, and hopefully will make the company bigger than it was earlier (what i saw it as during my school days)… I am super proud of my struggle !!
My proudest moment in my start up so far was getting to the point where we could finally hire our first time employment. It’s was a sign of growth and that the risk of starting our own thing was finally paying off.
Getting started into startups
Bootstrapped from day 1 also:
By no means at the same scale as a lot of you but I’m feeling a little proud because I’ve been doing this part time alongside my FT job.
Just about profitable after year 1 (and that’s not a lot of money – around 1,000 GBP) – and basically just pays for the hosting of the site I’m hosting everything on. HOWEVER, the only way is up now as all the infrastructure built out and so going forwards pretty much everything will be margin. Goal is to do around 20K GBP next year (this still part time)
Taking it slow and hoping to continue building on it
You probably know tools like **Asana**, **Trello**, **Jira**, **Notion**, etc. They’re great, but for small teams or individuals they don’t add much value. That’s why many entrepreneurs start using them but then never go back.
With my tool (similar to these but focused on the entrepreneurs and the individual) we managed to increase productivity by 20% and achieve goals in 50% of our users. It’s great to get feedback that you’ve managed to increase your customer base, find a co-founder or finally start talking to investors. The best results we can have are the ones we cause.
I am a freelance data analyst and I mainly help small/medium businesses with keeping track and visualising their data. I was on a call with a client who wanted a dashboard done in Excel and I was showing him a few examples of some previous works. His reaction was priceless and said something along the lines of “I didn’t know Excel could look that good.” It just made me so proud of my work and the dedication I put on each project.
Hitting $100k+/month entirely bootstrapped and rolling that cash flow into another business actively doing the same thing.
Started 3 years ago with the franchising process of our family business and this last week we sold our 9 franchise. Its been ups and downs and a lot of impostor syndrome because even though i love the field i work on, I´ve had to learn a lot about the selling, networking and all of those skills that are not necessarily my strongest.
$854,000 10-month contract. Receiving the first $154,000 check was fantastically amazing.
Trying to achieve my goal to popularise and build this product (Startup). Sleep wearable product idea.

Getting my first client.
We’re also a bootstrapped service. With our first customer we’ve reached 98% profitability. We offer embedded services, automations, data visualization (work in progress) and a new innovative banking and credit products for businesses — all of which has cybersecurity benefits baked in.

I never thought I’d see the day one my software projects turn a profit. I’ve headed profitable ventures before but none at the hands of my own software and engineering capabilities.
Having one person trust me was a huge blessing. All I needed was just one person to trust me, they did… now we’re scaling together.
Some of the challenges I’ve faced along side my first client have led me to develop some truly innovative products for myself and my clients. I provide my clients with the best engineering solutions possible.
If I have to custom design a system and build the solution, I often do this for free based upon our deal; and, if you’re reading this and you’re interested I’ll do the same for you. 🙂 Just book a meeting with me by submitting some preliminary information by pressing the “book a meeting” button on my site.
I want to bring on 2-5 more clients because I’d like to be full-time with my startup and secure.
Nonetheless, my proudest moment was finding someone foolish enough to be my first client. 😇
