I started a service based company of my own after working in the same industry for years.
Now I know I should've gotten clients first before resigning and starting my own thing but with the circumstances at the time, it was the right thing to do (extremely toxic employer and family agreeing to support me financially).
I have since made small achievements like getting a license, an office, etc.
I have been so lucky up until now that a friend of mine who runs a big marketing agency has agreed to help me for a few months and that to without even taking a single penny from me. I will repay him for all that he's done but I Know this can't go on for longer as I haven't made a single sale in the past 2 months.
Now I know as a business owner, I should stfu and man up and deal with it but God is it hard not having anyone else to relate to as no one my age that I know has started their business yet (I'm early 20s). I have so many people just waiting to watch me fail.
I've gotten very close to closing a few sales tho and have many deals in the pipeline but am yet to close one.
Coming out here to see if there are others in a similar situation like me who are yet to close their first sale after risking it all and going their own way or even others who struggled to get clients in the beginning.
I'm in no way looking to quit or get my ego massaged, just looking to hear from other people who have been in a similar situation like I have been to perhaps get a little motivation.
