What if your biggest growth blocker isn’t the market, but the story you’re telling yourself?

In this episode, Rob Walling welcomes back fan favorite Ruben Gamez, founder of SignWell, to debunk common bootstrapper myths. They discuss misconceptions like never needing to sell your company or market your product, and emphasize the realities of growth plateaus, business valuation, and exit strategies.

Topics we cover:

(4:50) – I’ll never sell my company
(11:40) – I can just coast on profit forever
(21:48) – I’m built differently, so I don’t need to market
(31:54) – Building many tiny projects is a strategy
(34:46) – It’s all about luck
