Shut down PrintSwarm and wrote a blog about the experience

I think it's important to recognize when something isn't a good fit and move on quickly, so that's what I did. Let me know what you think about what I've written about the experience: https://mockernut.substack.com/p/another-month-another-startup

My holding company for all of my ideas is Mockernut Ventures, the substack is named the same thing. Might update the username for branding reasons (my twitter and twitch are both @ben_makes_stuff)

I've been following your journey for the last week or so, and I'm proud of you for making the best decision for you -- even though you did get some traction with this.

Despite what people say, quitting isn't bad. Quitting the right things brings us closer to success.

I need to prep for a strategy session with a client, but I've bookmarked the link and will read it after the call.

Thanks Cat! Agreed, sometimes it's better to quit and move onto something else if it's going to bring in better returns, more happiness, easier business model to work with, etc.
