Sometimes, even when you’re successful as an entrepreneur, it can still feel like you don’t have a legit, “grown up” business.
You know you have a great product or service… and your clients all rave about their results. But hearing venture-backed founders talk about their gazillion-dollar exit strategies can cause you to wonder if you measure up.
In this video, I’ll tell you about the time I found myself surrounded by VC-backed founders at a retreat.
(Spoiler alert – turns out, the grass isn’t always greener…)
Sure, as a bootstrapping entrepreneur, you might not sell your coaching business or membership site for $500 million. But you can build a business that gives you more freedom and income than most venture-backed founders will ever experience.

Thank you, this videos really helped me to apprecaite where I am with my business. I create physical products and I don´t want capital, I can imagine to partner or license. But first of all, I feel I need to come up with some more ideas about where to place my products, so my ideal cleints can see then.

I have read about a lady entrepreneur whose first business was venture backed. 6 months after founding the company, she was fired from the business because she had some disagreement with the venture capitalist. Bootstrapping may be tough but I have total control over my business. Nobody can fire me except myself.
