Very similar position to you, apart from I'm in the UK and have a b2b app.
To start with, unless you already know people, raising money can be a full-time job in itself, everyone wants to offer advice and no one wants to cut a cheque.
I took a massively risk-averse approach instead of aiming for $1m ARR I started with building a self-sustaining app that pays the mortgage/rent, then all the bills, then matches your salary.
Smaller more achievable goals will stave off burnout because you won't feel like you're failing everyday you're not making $1m ARR.
