Define "to succeed".

Had one business (dev shop) that was successfully aqui-hired - but it took my 10 years to build it.

For last two years working on a startup, pivotel last year to GRC / compliance management. Finally with profit and growing number of paying customers, but still waiting to pay myself a decent salary. Moments of doubt are hiting more often recently, but I still think it's worth it.

To succeed, I mean product market fit, or the business being healthy enough from the founders perspective with minimal(always non zero) doubts.

Did you have experience in that space? Are you a solo founder?

Had experience with compliance before, now building on it and learning a ton. Growing number of customers suggest I’m onto something, so doubts are minimal

And yes, solo founder.
