More money → More momentum
Is that always this simple?
Been picking up momentum on shipping again…
With more regular work for the past month and in the foreseeable near-term, I’m feeling less stressed about my finances. The relief is palpable.
And guess what? With more money, there’s now more energy to redirect back into my projects. This is on top of having to work full days during the week, for my freelance web dev gigs.
Yeah.
More money = more energy
More energy = more momentum
Was it always this simple?
All the worrying, the anxiety, the stress. You’d think just because it was all inside your head, it’s abstract, formless and has limited impact on the physical world.
But NO.
It was always this simple.
There seems to be a sweet spot. Some stress - helpful for creativity and motivation. Too much stress - hinders creativity and motivation. I struggled to ship anything during the past 2-3 years due to the financial struggles. Only on the few occasions when after I managed to earn enough and extend my runway did I suddenly feel like I have bandwidth for shipping…
And this isn’t just for survival stage. Even after you move past survival, more money continues to bring more motivation, more momentum, more people believing in you. Money brings more money, success breeds more success. (Incidentally, that’s also why people fake MRR screenshots)
It had always been this simple.
Always.
Dang, I woke up to this money thing so late.
