Hear me out on this one:

Getting from $100k to $1m might actually be less of a grind than bootstrapping your way from zero to that first $10k.

Think about it—early stage capital is brutal. You're fighting against compound interest working against you, limited options, and pure capital constraints. Every move matters because the absolute numbers are so small.

Once you hit six figures though? You've got leverage. Better opportunities start showing up. Risk management becomes viable instead of theoretical.

Of course, psychology shifts at every level too. The 10x might look the same on paper, but the journey feels totally different.

What's your take? Does this match what you've seen in the space?
