Chasing investor money isn’t for everyone.
I bootstrapped my business to $25M in revenue and a $100M acquisition.
Here’s how you can build from nothing, too. A thread 🧵

But many of life’s most important truths appear contradictory on the surface.

There are more and more BIGbins landing in Irish towns and cities every quarter and it’s great to see people using technology to deal with their waste problems. You can bring your rubbish to a BIGbin whenever you want and either use your online credit, tap a card or buy a ticket

Too many folks set the bar way too high with entrepreneurship. The next million dollar company. The next sexy startup.
Forget all that.
Build something that pays you $250k a year and requires only a few hours of your time per week to make it happen.

Mark Zuckerberg didn’t found Facebook until he was 19.
Evan Spiegel didn’t found Snapchat until he was 23.
The Collison brothers didn’t found Stripe until they were 22 and 20.
It’s never too late to start a company.

So my first batch of venture investments hit 20x this week
I'd like to say the learnings are novel or different than others
But they aren't
Learnings:
1. All that matters are the winners
The #1 investment is 55% of the returns
The #2 and #3 are each 12%.
So Top 3 = 79%

I was scared to start a business. Leaving a safe job seemed insane.
It took:
-6 mo: to triple previous salary
-3 yrs to lose just as much
-4 yrs to find a stride
-5 yrs for continual profitability
11 years later, it’s the best decision I ever made.
I built a business. 💪🏽

This is a good article by @FinnMurphy12 . Its important to get balance in your working life as your business won't always be a startup. Plan for a marathon and not a sprint.

An IPO may make you rich, but will it make you happy? Column from @FinnMurphy12 on the insanity of 130 hour weeks and not pushing yourself too hard in tech.
