I can relate to your post all too well. I often catch myself having a small panic attack because I think things aren’t moving along quickly enough, like riding a bike on the edge of a cliff and if you slow down too much you’ll lose your balance and teeter off. But often you’re not as close to the edge as you think as long as you stay focused and persevere!

Your words and journey must echo the experiences of many business pioneers. It certainly echoes mine. Today’s internet and the efforts of other pioneers like Freshbooks have made it possible for micro-business to develop new ideas in ways that simply have never before been possible. I never really understood the idea of ’software as a service’ until I started using Freshbooks. It is the first service , and the only one so far, where I have upgraded from a free to a paid web2.0 service. In fact we celebrated doing so as it demonstrated our business growing in income – not just expenditure.
