I lost the family house. Built in 1917. Gone. The land. Gone. The car. Gone.
Moved to Spain with my wife, two kids, and a laptop. Started from zero.
I don't need a seat at anyone's table. I'm building my own.
Now I sail a small boat. Dinner with my kids every night.
For 14 years, I built mobile apps for other founders. Struckd (12M+ downloads, acquired by Unity). Daily Dozen (1M+ users, Apple Featured). CosmicTaps portfolio (9M+ downloads across 5 apps).
Made them money. My own assets? 13K downloads. $3K lifetime.
The gap bothers me. 30M vs 13K. Time to close it.
The goal: $1K MRR from my own product in 12 months
Why: Not to say "F*ck off" to anyone. To build a base strong enough to only work with people I like and respect, on things we enjoy and own.
The rules:
- 20 hours/week, mornings, before client work
- 90 days minimum, one project, no switching
- 10 iterations before I'm allowed to quit anything
