Struggling with imposter syndrome... How long did it take you to land your first client?

Hey everyone,

Ever since I got into AI automation, I've been working on a few projects.

But honestly, I keep hitting a wall where I feel like my work isn't "good enough" to sell, or that no one would actually pay for it.

Instead of overthinking it, I’ve decided to just shoot some cold emails and see if there's any real interest out there today☠️ I figure market feedback is the best way to know for sure.

For those of you who’ve been through this—how long did it take you to get that first paying client? Any advice for someone just starting the outreach grind?
