re: For those of you that own a small business, how did you get started?

Awesome man! Just try to stay the course. I'm only a few weeks in, but it's definitely a mental grind. For me, it was worth the initial investment to know whether or not my concept could become reality. I would rather fail and know it didn't work instead of never try and always wonder. Best of luck.

Also, know that their is literally a SaaS for every possible thing you could need. You definitely don't need to be a tech guru.
