As I informally celebrate the first anniversary of Mount’s Bay Labs, one phrase I’ve heard a few times rings true:
“It’s feast or famine.”
Spot on.
In my first six months, I was inundated with work. In fact I had more work than bandwidth and had to shuffle commitments to fit in what I could.
Unfortunately, the summer was a lot less lucrative. In hindsight, I probably spent too much time tinkering at the expense of marketing.
It’s been hard to stay motivated. When I’ve found my voice, it’s often felt like I’ve been shouting into the void.
This week, though, things are looking up. I’m closing in on extra revenue and there are a couple of projects on the horizon which seem promising.
If you’re reading this, thank you. Your support means the world to me.
