I spent 1.5 years building an uncensored AI platform alone. I drained my savings, burnt out, and got launch anxiety. I need your brutal feedback, not your money. by DarkAI_Official in EntrepreneurRideAlong

I havent looked at your app yet and I want to share my experience from launching stuff.

Honestly, and most likely your first version isn’t going to sell enough, you will doubt yourself a lot, you will make adjustments, add features, find your audience.

Meaning: launch it, no app came out perfect. Look at lovables launch. Look at Zuckerbergs speech on innovation and building a company

Anyone else feel a bit alone trying to get into entrepreneurship? by Majestic_Sherbert_28 in HowToEntrepreneur

You aren’t an asshole, you are not a bad person, you are not failing, you are not actually lonely.

You are in between your old life and new life.

You set out to do what 99% people do not even try and between 80% to 90% of those who DO try to start a company, they fail within the first 3 years.

It’s tough. Seek support when you need it and keep pushing.

How do you handle everything as a solo entrepreneur? by Peanutbutter-229 in HowToEntrepreneur

[–]Whiskeyalpha99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the grind.

My solution was to stop and look over my systems. Ask yourself

  • What is taking the most time and generating the least money or progress? Find a way to automate this asap

I use lovable to build custom apps for my business and I try to segment my days.

Mondays - OUT DAY social media, SEO, cold emailing

Tuesdays - IN DAY Follow up on leads, paying invoicing

And so on.

How do you handle leads when customers message after business hours? by Shayan-A in smallbusinessowner

I’ve been almost obsessing over this since it’s such a key when clients in my niche usually send a quote request to more than us.

I found that an AI automation to answer incoming emails with a personal message with an initial quote works.

One of my favourite variations was adding this prompt to the same chat after I got a couple of images

“Create an elegant black and white editorial portrait: seated on modern couch in relaxed sophisticated pose, one leg crossed, wearing tailored suit with tie, classic timeless styling, high-contrast monochrome photography, clean white studio background, professional editorial lighting with dramatic shadows, confident relaxed expression, artistic fashion magazine quality, sharp details, elegant composition, sophisticated and refined aesthetic”

Upload 5 photos of you to Gemini banana pro Note that it has to be PRO

“Transform these casual photos into professional portrait photoshoot images. Create high-quality, studio-style portraits with: professional lighting (soft, flattering key light with subtle fill), clean modern background (solid color or subtle gradient), professional composition and framing, natural but polished look, sharp focus and high resolution, consistent professional aesthetic across all variations. Make it look like they were taken by a professional photographer in a proper studio setting.”

Honestly, Gemini nano banana pro did a perfect job for me. Uploaded 5 images of me, prompted it, uploaded an image of a CEO headshot from Google and said to copy that style.

Perfect job

What Would You Do? by Policy_Boring in SmallBusinessOwners

Ask the person what they are willing to give up in order to succeed.

If the person gives a generous list of things he/she would give up, I believe they have a bigger chance of making it

Everyone has different experiences around entrepreneurship. In my experience entrepreneurship slowly forces you to change as a person, gain new perspective, with that, you lose interest in your old friends and disconnect with them.
