I earned over 100k$ as a SaaS solo-founder. I did it to protect my music

My name is Mike and I’m a software entrepreneur from Italy.

I earned over 100,000€ over the years as a SaaS solo-founder and bootstrapper.

I'm not rich at all, but I'm doing this for another reason: protecting my music.

You see, I’m a jazz musician and I like to play. But, being a musician is hard and if you want to earn a living by playing music, you most likely have to compromise on your art.

This can mean playing weddings, doing gigs you don’t want to, or teaching kids who are not interested in music at all, and while those are things that are absolutely fine for others, I just don’t like them.

Now I can make time to play when I want and to help my family when they most need my help.

I hope my journey can inspire you! Mike
