We are in a dead end. Situation is stable, but going nowhere. None of my 10 employees realize this. Just me.

Many great companies have been where you are now. Take this opportunity to explore different products in different markets. Build prototypes. Talk to different people.

Stable but boring is a great place to be. Now take this opportunity and build something great.

Could you sell the business? Would free you up and give you the possibility to explore other ventures.

Why don't you just involve your employees with the situation and brianstorm together about solutions.

I have a full-time job, but spend nearly 100% of company-time working on my startup. My startup was covered by Ad Age, which my boss receives. He was in a meeting when the article hit, so I went into his email and deleted it.

I am a sole non-technical female founder. I could be shitting rainbows and unicorns out my ass (which I do, daily) and investors still won’t touch me with a stick. I know for a fact if I were two dudes I’d be fully funded by now.

I am a woman CEO and hooked up with a guy the first night we met- he wants to join my company but I just can’t get over the way we met.

Have worked for 4 startups that all crashed and burned for unrelated reasons not having to do with me. I now consult for cash only, and I can’t imagine working as an employee again. I’m happier and richer. Am I alone?
