  You're welcome, I really hope this helps! If you want to read books (level up!), I'd recommend this for early stage entrepreneurs: - The E-Myth Revisited, by Michael E. Gerber. Some of it is a bit outdated maybe, maybe, but it's still a great perspective for first-time founders, especially working solo. - The Obstacle Is The Way, by Ryan holiday. It's a rather short and simple introduction to Stoicism. If you know nothing about it (or about Zen) I strongly suggest taking a look. It's a philosophy which correlates strongly with successful entrepreneurs, people who make/build things, athletes, soldiers — those who prevailed when faced hard challenges in every way (especially emotional, spiritual even, things that can really take you down, the storms of life and fires in our minds). As you can see there's one for your business and one for you. I find that it works like that, you need to grow to grow the business, which in turns makes you grow, rinse and repeat. Best of luck, or should I say courage!
