What its like being a new founder/owner

Hi guys, I am a new founder of an AI agency, Think Bridging AI.

My journey started last year in July when I suddenly had to drop out of 3rd year Mechanical engineering. Honestly, I always wanted to start my own thing and so I was quite excited to finally try it out. Unfortunately, the reality hit, when all those, 'get rich fast', 'get leads fast', and 'get your first customer in 7 days' Youtube channels burst my bubble.

It's not that easy. I still have a client or 2 in the pipeline which took 6 months to get, 100s of emails sent, and stress levels through the roof.

Are we all on the same journey, or is it just me?
