It’s important to know when to quit
You won’t get results every time you work hard
Hello dear friend
After having a few successful digital products like my 90-Day Freelancing Guide and Project Medium, I planned another product launch in 2023.
I worked on building Cyber Aid: A discussion forum where people who suffered from cyber crimes could come together and share their stories.
I followed similar steps as I had in my previous launches and put in double the effort this time.
Invested about $500 to build it
Spent another $100 each month to run the forum for 6 months
Posted 2x/week on LinkedIn
Made 5–6 YouTube videos
Kept Tweeting multiple times a week.
I did everything that was supposed to make it a successful launch, but it didn’t pick up traction.
I gave up the business, even though the sunk cost fallacy made it extremely hard.
I had the plan, but the results didn’t match my expectations.
This made me understand the fickle nature of leading an entrepreneurial life. Your best efforts might get wasted.
It’s important to know when to quit, pack all the lessons you learned, and stop putting efforts into a dead cause.
Bottom line: Anything can happen when you’re your own boss. One day, you can be earning thousands of dollars, and the other day, nothing.
P.S. Tired of low-paying freelance gigs?
