Nice collection. These kind of posts where founders are so open with their numbers are always an inspiration. I particularly like the guys from GrooveHQ and their blog on the journey to $100k per month (Now updated to $500k as they've exceeded the 100k target).
However sometimes these posts tend to post a very rosy tint when things have been far more difficult. I remember watching a really awesome video of Scott Farquhar of Atlassian where he said something along the lines of "Our overnight success only took 8 years". His point being that most people only see the last year or so of media limelight and take that to be your "starting point" when in fact you've been hustling for years to get to that point :)
