Question for bootstrapped free agents/solopreneurs who’ve been in game a few years:
Do you make small-scale invest-in-the-business plans (outsourcing, equipment, subcontractors, interns...) based on surplus you have or do you make plans and then figure out how to pay for them?

Make plans then figure out how to pay for them. It’s the only way to motivate myself. There is never a surplus

This explains 80% of the difference between you and me. The other 20% is explained by: you like cults more than jokes, I like jokes more than cults

Interesting idea => excitement from potential audience or people that want to work with me => investment

for me there's not really a lot of investment or overhead in the first place: I'll buy computer gear or tools every so often but they're almost negligible (let's say ROI is 1-2 projects instead of years)
what I really ought to be investing in is more travel, which is surplus

I plan and be ready in advance then implement when there's surplus.

Just getting started with content & services. Looking at possible revenues and scoping investment based on that.
In video/streaming I'll be able to upsell the capabilities directly.
But I want these toys now 🤣
