Most entrepreneurs, especially bootstrappers are working from home, alone, struggling with trying to get paying users, and not really knowing what to do... There are just too many variables...
Any tips to deal with it?

I joined the Indiependent - A discord community run by @rosiesherry
I created a small Discord server with a couple of friends who are makers.
@tiagorbf Agreed, having a pet is a responsibility, and needs some time to be dedicated in regards. That being said, the core reason for loneliness (if that is something we want to fix) is not being able to give time to anything else other than our professionals goals.

I love this question. I make it a point to consciously create community with the kind of energies and intentions I want to amplify. Usually I do this thru my own business in courses and retreats and most recently thru a bigger development project…

Even if you’re struggling, like most of us are, you can show yourself, your team, and the rest of the world, “Yes, I’m navigating these challenges. Yes, I’m rebuilding from the devastating blow of Covid-19 and economic shutdown. Yes, you can get through this too.”

Item Hunt surfaces the best new items, consistently. It's a spot for item cherishing fans to share and nerd out with regards to the most recent portable applications, sites, equipment undertakings, Home Page and tech manifestations. The significant thing to recall isn't to act over the top with them, since they depend on verifiable information. Meaning the calculation used to work out these depends on past outcomes and results and doesn't consider human components. We are seldom overlooking the chances whenever there is a staggering opportunity a group will lose.

In the past, I had to cope with it.
* sometime it is important to take rest, we are indeed very ambitious and barely takes break or giving time for entertainment.
* connect with others on community. Join Groups on facebook to connect with individuals who share your interests.
* Seek assistance; don't be afraid to seek assistance or express doubts to a fellow entrepreneur. It assists you in discovering new ways to analyze and market your product to users.
* Make a list of your ideas. Make an effort to put your doubts into words.
@mind_walks agree. Taking some time off actually helps to make better decisions

Getting an accountability partner could be a great idea. Have never done it myself but have certainly considered it.
Basically it's another founder who you touch base with frequently to discuss progress and objectives (you act as a fake director for their company and vice versa).
You do the weekly/daily drumbeats together and it gives the impression you're not working alone.

The more I read this, the more I remember we all go through the same thing.
Based on my experience it's the best to surround yourself with other entrepreneurs. And it's important to join a lively group packed with highly motivated people, and if you figure out a community is already dead or has very few active members leave it as soon as possible as it gives you the impression that that's how other entrepreneurs are and no new business is emerging, and much more negative thoughts.
Trust me, out there is full of highly motivated people that never take no as an answer, they don't believe in the 90% of startups fail BS, and work their a$$ off to make sure they achieve their goals.
Best of luck, and remember we all feel the same.
man!! don't make me cry.I was in this phase for like 1 year.
But now I am very happy and growing very fast ( at lazyapply.com) so never give up!!
PS- my only learning, growth is the best motivation ( so if you are not having paid customers currently just measure your work so that growth can help you out)
