Same here ❤

I love that you focused in on such an incredibly niche market and were able to make a solid living from it. It's inspiring that a tiny, focused product like this can make things work for a single person. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for being so honest and down to earth, I’ve been in the start up business for 15 years but your videos are incredibly refreshing to watch, super useful and life inspiring Merci 🥰

I really appreciate the realness, especially where you note that you were depressed and you abandoned a business. This kind of thing is natural but few talk of it

"You might be one cold email away from closing a 5,000$ client "...so inspiring! Thank you Marc!!! ❤ I really liked that customer pipeline a lot. Can you share the template? How did you handle the tax aspect? Did you immediately open a company with zero clients, or did you wait until you were more established? What advice would you give regarding this? Thank you for let us to dream 😅

Thanks Guiseppe! The pipeline has 4 stages (each stage is 1 cold email) If reply it goes to > warm leads If no reply > quit I was under a solopreneur-like french tax setup (24% tax on revenue) My advice: if you go all in, set up your company properly because it's a pain to change later

Good stuff man! I love that cycle of Idea -> Try to Build -> Learn -> Iterate

Mar, thanks for sharing this man! Very inspiring.

thank you for sharing, I found your channel like 4 videos ago and you have a great way of sharing your stories

Man so glad I found your channel! Liked subbed bell notifications on, and here’s my comment. Do your thing algorithm

Super inspiring. Thank you for this video

Très bonne vidéo, c'est rare que je commente mais celle-ci a répondu à beaucoup de mes questions à propos du SaaS tout ça avec une très bonne élucution / storytelling / authenticité. Merveilleux !

You’ve inspired me to get coding again. I last touched python in about 2003. This week I’ve finished coursecademy’s introduction to JavaScript. Next step to complete there full stack engineer career path. After which I will build something similar to your visualise habits web app hopefully

Great! Learning is always good for self improving but unfortunately for SaaS business the tech stack is not the most important part. The audience to serve and what your product solve in that niche is the spine of it

gr8 video thanks man. 1Question, how can I organize/structure my Gmail the way you show in the video???

Amazing Video Marc. Love that pipeline, is there a video to teach how to create the template?

Hey Marc how did you embed the minigame into people's websites and how did you handle that general onboarding workflow?

Loved it!

Incroyable mec bravo

Hi Marc , Thank you for sharing for your story and providing motivation . I felt like I have been lost but now i will get back to my ideas. Thanks alot

Hi Marc, what app do you use for your screen recordings?

amazing story Marc! Did you reach out to your large customer to ask about why they churned?

What do you use for the landing page? is it a template or some kind of Wordpress + theme + customization

The interesting thing here and in all the products is that you keep your monthly pricing really high. Shipfast is 199 one time. What do you think has been the difference between the monthly subscription model and the one time payment model? What I am learning is to not price myself at the $4 / month style which startups with a lot of funds backing them do.

How did you create that sales pipeline inside of GMail???? That’s cool!

Can you share the link for cold email template doc?

Tu peux le faire en B2B aussi ? Mon interrogation c'est de savoir si le fait d'être en nocode te limite en termes de puissance requise pour vendre ta solution à plusieurs milliers d'utilisateurs. Ou alors faudra-t-il faire évoluer la solution avec du code ?

what kind of pipeline do you use for gmail? is that an addon or an extension?

Yeop, It's Streak

Great video Marc, very inspiring. I've seen on LinkedIn that the last customer just churned. One question : since you knew you weren't going to take over the business, why didn't you try to sell it when the MRR was still OK?

I am not clear how you were able to convince your initial escape room clients to buy your software when it didn't even exist yet. Were you open with them and let them know it would take time to deliver? Did you collect money up front before having your product ready or did you just get them to promise to pay once you were ready?

I am curious, after you come back from your depression, why did you not restart this business? Don't you think you have a gold mine to explore with this?

I wouldn't say it was a gold mine, and it felt off. Like when you're sick of something and you can't see it anymore (spent 2 years on it)
