New Year's Resolutions for Indie Hackers

I've been thinking about my goals for the next year. I love coding and could do it all the time, but now I want to get more serious about coding to build a business.

So, my goal for 2023 is to try to make my FIRST DOLLAR with my own project. Maybe that doesn't sound super ambitious, but I know that actually making money is going to involve pushing myself outside of my comfort zone, beyond pure coding to marketing and sales. 😅 Now that's a scary thought!

What about you? What are your goals as an indie hacker for 2023?

2023 goals:
1. Take at least 2 weeks off. I didn't take a vacation at all last year and I'm feeling pretty run down.
2. Extricate myself from tasks that I can delegate to others, so that I can focus on larger strategic questions.

For 2023, my goal is to grow my product to $1000 MRR.

I'm new to micro SaaS/Indie Hacking. My day job is software engineer, but I've never actively learned about marketing/pricing/product management (though I have soaked up some knowledge from other departments), so I know a lot of my time this year will go into ramping up on that aspect of business.

It's so important to take time to reflect on your direction, your priorities, your goals...

Kudos @sylvan for being a young fella but already thinking intentionally about this stuff!

Anyway, my IH goal for 2023 is to replace 30% of my freelancing income w/ income from my own projects. It'll require about a 10-fold increase in project income, but I think I can do it. 🤞🏻

In that year 2022, I've juste finished my first SaaS product and I wish for 2023 to :
- Launch that SaaS product, Boxydev Cloud
- To get new users and continue to improve tool
- Continue my web developer freelance activity
- And a happy health for my family, me and everyone
I wish you all good luck for your wishes.

That's a great goal Sylvan! I'm sure you'll be there in no time. I just started my indie hacker journey a couple years ago when I started coding. I wish I would have started at your age!

My goals for 2023 are:
1. Launch on Product Hunt in a few weeks
2. Consistent MRR
3. New Features!
I'm going to be launching my iOS app on Product Hunt in a few weeks. I will also be sharing my learnings & results to ppl who sign up via email. Would love your support if you're interested! http://bit.ly/3vl76Es

I have a similar goal! I'd love build a base of recurring revenue.

I am exploring how I can collect datasets that people are willing to pay for.
