> Maybe the truth is that it does not take 7 months, but 7 years?

Yes, that is the truth. I run a business solo and it takes a long time to get to the point where you're making decent income, because running a business has its own costs, and those costs scale as you scale, so it never feels like "enough" until it finally does. I personally do believe in the whole "build and they will come" bit, but the 'coming' part is on the order of years, not weeks or months, and it's a slow linear trickle, not an exponential curve like the talking heads like to tout. Of course, you do have to build something people actually want, and something those people will actually pay for, but your number one goal should simply be Don't Die. Live long enough so that people know you exist, carve out a little niche for yourself, and fight for that linear trickle until it's "enough."
