No entrepreneur forgets what the first month of business feels like.

For some people, it's really exciting because they're wildly successful.

For others, it's not so exciting.

It can be quite stressful.

It can be quite scary.

Now, for me, my first month as a true entrepreneur,

no second job, no moonlight job, no side income, just straight up running my new company

everyday spy, that first month was terrifying. And in hindsight, it's really kind of funny because

all I needed was $4,000 in the whole

month so that I could keep everything alive. So I could feed my kids. I could pay the rent.

I could feed my wife, feed myself, and just kind of survive another 30 days. But it was so hard to make that $4,000. I mean,

you would think that over the course of 30 days, you only have to sell less than $100 worth of

stuff per day for 30 days to make $4,000. But it was still really, really hard.

I wasn't good at selling.

I wasn't good with anything digital and I had a digital business.

I still didn't understand how to make the best kind of products.

I didn't have any idea how to market.

Like I said, selling was something that I knew how to do and I was selling

treason for CIA, but that's completely different than selling a product, especially a product

that you believe in. So every month, I was terrified by the idea that this might be the month

I go bankrupt or this might be the month. I run out of money and I have to ask for a loan

or this might be the month that my wife tells me it's time to grow up and go get a job again.
