Running a SaaS is… boring

Everyone makes running a SaaS as it's something extremely glorified and always fun. It's not.

 

Nobody tells you that you spend a good chunk of your time doing ultra boring but necessary tasks such as:

 

– manually changing a user's email address

 

– or sending them invoice details for the third time because they didn't read your messages on how to do it themselves

 

– explaining users how the price came to be that they have been paying for years (it's usually because of taxes)

 

– fixing tiny but time-expensive bugs

 

– bookkeeping, keeping record of individual deals, answering the same question over and over to the same customer...

 

The list goes on.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love what I'm doing but I also sometimes... hate it.

 

Running a successful business truly adheres to Yin Yang.

 

Can't have one without the other!
