Less than a year ago, we left our 9-5s to invent a product, launch it on Kickstarter, and start a business. Today we packed up 1300 units to ship to our customers and we’re only 1/3 done! Just do it, guys. Take the leap. It’s the most rewarding thing ever.

Basically the title - today was just surreal. You’d think after almost a full year of obsession-level work on something, you’d know what to expect when you see your product mass-produced for the first time. We were wrong.We’ve had a few moments where it felt like the thing we were working towards became “real”, but today was the biggest one yet.I think there was a part of me that was still filled with doubt. There was another post in here this week from entrepreneurs who took the leap recently and it spoke to the uncertainty you feel in literally all things related to building a business. Just like those entrepreneurs, I sometimes have imposter syndrome and wasn't sure how things would turn out. But we got the product and it's awesome. Like, every bit as good as we wanted it to be and more all come together.And we haven’t even shipped yet! We’re building up to an official “launch” when we’ll actually be in stock for the first time later this week, our product will be in our customers’ hands by next week, and sharing the journey with our existing backer community is pretty special too. We can feel we’re at the beginning with this business and so excited to see where it goes.So: if you’re thinking of taking the leap, do it. Be thoughtful, validate your market, talk to customers, and remember everything costs more than you think it will, but do it. Building Sleepout has been the single most rewarding thing we’ve ever done - and also the toughest. (Haha, maybe a correlation there?)Also, huge shoutout to the folks in warehouses/3PLs. We had a blast today and can’t wait to get back at it tomorrow, but picking & packing full time is no joke. I have so many cardboard paper cuts and it took us TWO HOURS to get the label printer to work properly. Also, if it wasn’t for my partner stepping in, our order/packing workflows would have moved about half the speed… Yet figuring that stuff out was part of the reason it was an eye awesome (and eye opening) day for us. Sometimes problem-solving is the fun part - at least after the fact, haha.Entrepreneurship is so much fun! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
