For me, it means letting go of the idea that I have to manage every interaction of my business personally, every DM, comment, or email, getting a reply within 2 minutes.
So yeah, go outside.
Let your community breathe without burning you out.

Schedule recurring content, automate common replies, set smart boundaries, and use tools that keep things moving without you being there every second.

If your community only works when you’re online, it’s not sustainable, and this is something that I am still trying to learn and adopt in my own routine. Besides your teammates, you can also help yourself not to be "there" all the time.

We stopped treating support like a silo and started treating it like product input.
That’s what Starko does: automatically tags messages by content, urgency, and request type.

Somewhere along the way, that feedback, which was actually a signal, disappears into the abyss, which is wild, because most brands pay for market research, when your customers are literally telling you what they want, every day.
So what changed things for us?

You don’t have to change who you are, but if you want to scale, you do need a way to structure the madness. Just like you would structure a mono repo😆

You can’t scale creative chaos. Creative energy only works if you have a system that catches it. It took me building Starko to fully understand that.

As a founder, I’m the one putting deadlines on everything and asking why nothing’s up on Starko. Following up on a follow-up.
Honestly, it’s payback.
But also, I kind of get it now.

There was always that one person in the team: the calendar guy, making us have ten different workspaces, the one actually keeping track.

If you’re stuck in the support spiral, maybe it's time to rethink the tools you’re using- or not using.
No hard pitch. Just sharing what worked for us.
Also: brush your teeth. Fully.

Support isn’t a task. It’s a full-blown relationship, and relationships need boundaries, not burnout.
We built Starko because we were tired of the “just five more minutes” trap of handling support across 6 platforms at once.

And just like that, it’s 3:12 AM, you’re responding to DMs because you care, you want your brand to represent a great experience, and your toothpaste is still somewhere on your cheek.

So, my message to you is, for fucks sake, believe in your dreams. Maybe that will screw you over, but maybe it will make you into the person you were always meant to become. Who knows?

it can get annoying, all the crises, sleepless nights, feeling like a failure. But you still continue to believe, almost annoyingly so. You feel even more attached to the goal, the dream, and the idea that this just might work.

Believe in your dreams… for fuck’s sake?\
Or maybe:
Believe in your dreams - even if they screw you over.
