As an accidental entrepreneur, Andrew struggled with confidence and not always knowing what next steps he should take. So, in 2020, he started to level up by reading and listening to relevant podcasts, and joining and participating in communities like Indie Hackers and MicroConf Connect.
In this time, the company was steadily growing, and Andrew started to entertain the idea of working on it full-time. He ultimately made that decision earlier this year.
“So there are a few factors: the revenue, the traction, the trajectory of the revenue, and also my confidence in my ability to manage and to grow this thing,” says Andrew. “I also became active in the Indie Hackers and MicroConf Connect communities. And Rob, with his podcasts and books, was very inspirational for me to discover other people’s stories and to find out when is the right time to leave the job.”
Another contributing factor was joining MicroConf Mastermind Matching earlier this year when his business was gaining traction, and he was seriously considering taking the leap to work on it full-time.
