According to FoundersList, you are “up and running” if:

• You have some revenue coming in

• Your customers love you because they don’t really know what is going on behind the scenes

• Your borrowing from Peter to pay Paul

• You’re not really sure how to got from point A to point B, but something is working

• Your competition laughs at you in public, but your getting resumes from their employees.

• Service providers want to have lunch with you and they pay for it

• You have pre-mature balding, instant weight gain or weight loss

• You sleep with your shoes on

• Your Twitter account has more followers than following

• People reply to your Facebook posts no matter how stupid or irrelevant they are

• Your pretty damn proud of yourself for making it this far and know that even if this business fails, you will never be the same and now stand among an elite few who dared to risk it all to do something most people only dream of. Pat yourself on the back, you’re a rockstar!
