Managing Early Stage Revenue Without Overconfidence

nobody talks about this but... claiming $1M ARR after 1-2 months at $100k MRR is the fastest way to completely fuck up your brain i've been building businesses solo for a decade, here's what that taught me: > your best month is not your baseline > revenue varies according to seasonality > clients without locked contracts can vanish overnight the world moves fast, businesses close every day cuz worldwide economy is fucked up and churn is coming whether you like it or not do this instead: - manage month by month for the first year, one at a time - build treasury first, acquisition second - only assess financial health every 3 months, full overview after year-end taxes everything in between is just you refreshing your bank account and opening the calculator app to feel good about projections that don't exist yet
