> It's also the constant stream of digital nomad influencers on Twitter who sell extremely distorted, rosy, and often times false dreams to indie entrepreneurs like myself.
I believe that all sales are about selling into peoples dreams. I am sure that the false dreams you refer are an extremely good business and a willing market, because - who doesn't want to buy the dream of being a successful entrepreneur?
Ironically, assuming these people are creating products primarily based on their own experiences, there might not be anything false about it - it's just that you've trying to sell into less desirable dreams!
Fundamentally I believe that for me it is impossible to passionately pursue stuff I am not really interested in. This limits the desirability of the dreams I can sell into, and I have come to terms with that. You might even think of this as bad luck.
I've also come to terms with the fact that I have to create for myself first, and any interest I get from other people is purely a bonus. Obviously that doesn't pay the bills :-)
