Response to edit: I think you make some great points, but I'm not sure how applicable they are to a self-funded solo bootstrapper... how did you launch your company?
My goal is to reach $2k/mrr in the next two months so that I can go full-time on the startup and apply all of my time to making it better / marketing it better, in order to hit escape velocity where my books are completely in the black without having to work a day job.
