Especially within the US, “lifestyle business” is handled like a slur. Are you a critical enterprise, or are you only a way of life enterprise? 👀 A VC will not make investments until you possibly can develop into a billion greenback firm. So to a enterprise capitalist, a way of life enterprise means you phoned it in. You solely need a number of million in revenue. Nothing fascinating there. But for you, the entrepreneur, a few million in revenue is unbelievable. You get to stay the type of life you really need. You’ve obtained free time. You do not work weekends. You choose your children up from faculty once you really feel prefer it. You take a break day with out asking anybody’s permission 🌴 That’s the enterprise most individuals really need, it simply by no means will get airtime. You do not hear tales in regards to the native boutique internet design agency with 4 workers doing 2 million a yr, as a result of it is not dramatic sufficient. You solely hear in regards to the child who dropped out of Stanford and raised $500 million for an app that does not exist but 😅 The complete tradition is anti way of life enterprise. I feel the tradition is fallacious.
