Good for you! I did the same a few years ago after having a very similar mindset. The first while was difficult, but every day is an exciting new challenge. It was the best thing I ever did for myself and my family.

Yes! Having your own business is definitely challenging and not easy by any means. But the problems you solve and the hard work you do directly benefits you! Its nothing about like "setting my own hours" or anything like that. Its when i work hard to grow a company its benefitting me!
Sounds good. I hope you have great success
Good luck for your venture!
Congratulations on taking the leap to start your own business!

The road ahead may be challenging, but your enthusiasm and expertise will undoubtedly pave the way for a successful journey. Keep us posted on your progress, and feel free to reach out if you ever need advice or support from the community. Cheers to your exciting new chapter! 🚀👏
So you just like, ChatGPT encouraging comments on Reddit?
Congratulations and have so much fun!! I love the cause
Hope those patents weren't created while working in a similar industry without their knowledge. But, good luck either way.
Sounds cool. I recommend reading the first few chapters of emyth. The rest of the book doesn't sound applicable. Good luck!
Good for you! Congrats!! If you need help with branding and logo let me know!
Love it! Good luck
Hell yeah. Keep us posted!
Get yours, chief!
A source of inspiration. I get the impression that entrepreneurship is all about resilience, so don't quite. Can't wait to follow your journey, give us some news!
Bravo! Congratulations! Much success to you! 👏👍
Shii 🔥🔥
I like your industry niche because companies like samsara encourage partnerships with companies that offer patrol services, which is a win-win. I used to handle everything pre-contract (pretty much the entire process before the agreement execution) and win these statewide deals. Our fleet management partner was excellent and would help customize marketing.
I just started a career with a tech startup company in fleet management and telematics as a sales engineer! Great industry, beware of giant competition and goodluck
All the best
Hellz yea!! Go forth and conquer! I just sold tech business (started as computer repair turned MSP 8 yesrs ago), so DM me if you need support or a kick in the ass to keep going :) I look forward to following your journey!
Tired of all my effort going to help lining the pockets of people who think they are better than me because they are benefitting from my hard work.
Being on the other side of this equation is one of the most humbling aspects of entrepreneurship.
Best of luck! Seems like you already have an advantage by being knowledgeable in a niche industry!
Good luck bro
Hopefully you do good
A robber pulled a gun on the bank clerk and manager saying, “Give me all the money! I need it to set myself up in a trade or profession. You know, initial investment is needed to cover the overheads until my cash flow is established.” The bank manager said to the clerk, “You’d better do what he says, I think he means business.”

Best of luck to you, starting a business is exciting! although my business hasn't fully taken off yet, I am still excited and proud of myself.
Know that feeling bro, wish you all the best. I also dreaming of my own outsource company but i want to go with real work-life balance: 4day/8hr or 5day/6hr work week for my employees.
I love it, hopefully I can get big enough when I hire employees I can do something similar. Pay for full time work but only have them work about 30 hours a week something like that
Good luck with your venture!
All the best and very good luck!!
Woo! Good luck, mate! Let's hope you create something unforgettable!
That’s awesome.
Best of luck!
Bro, get paying customer asap
Oh wow congratulations! I’ll try and follow you to give tips as you grow 🙌
Hope you make a ton of money!
The above is where you should be when starting a business. Good luck!
Great! I wish you the best!
Good luck! That’s a cool niche space. Doing some good stuff for the world while making money is always fun.
Good luck! Started my business about a year ago and have certainly enjoyed it more than a w2
i might buy your dashcam if its good
Congratulations! I wish you well. :)
I did the same (different market). Excited for you! Keep doing the good work but be patient with yourself. Some things will take 4x~10x longer than you think and it’s okay. That has been the most grueling part for me. Patience.
Good for you! Go fucking get 'em!
Wow that's a completely different industry from anything I've ever seen or heard. I'm afraid I can't offer any help or advice.
I can only say, good luck. You'll need a lot of it.
Hope you are good at sales, I never realized once you start a business your first and foremost role in the beginning is sales. You have to sell your product.
Congrats on taking the leap!
My advice is to view this as a marathon. Don't let the gnawing pain of uncertainty, fear, anxiety, doubt and loneliness discourage you, just stick to your mission. Focus on your goal and don't stress too much about the bank balance!
