Hey everyone,
I’ve spent the last few years in the "Cozy Slowlane." I had the classic setup: a tech consulting job, great pay, a state-of-the-art company car, and a portfolio of big-name enterprise projects.
Then reality hit. The economy shifted, clients pulled back, and my entire team was laid off.
In the past, I’ve dabbled in everything from affiliate marketing to agency work—learning a lot without losing money, but never truly committing. Now, I’m at a crossroads. I could easily jump back into another consulting gig to pay the bills, but I’ve decided to take a different path.
The Goal: Build a software business that generates $3,000 USD/month by February 1st.
The Math: $3k/mo = ~20 SaaS customers (based on my target pricing).
Current Status:
I’m officially starting from scratch, but this time with enterprise-grade experience and a refusal to go back to the "cozy" cubicle.
Next Steps for Week 1:

Current Status:
- The Product: I’m not starting from a blank page. I’ve already built out the MVP, and frankly, it looks like a polished, finished product.
- The Tech: Currently plugging in the final analytical tooling.
- The Hurdle: Moving from "builder" mode to "Go-To-Market" mode.
I’m officially starting from scratch, but this time with enterprise-grade experience and a refusal to go back to the "cozy" cubicle.
Next Steps for Week 1:
- Finalize the analytics integration.
- Hard-launch the landing page for early access/sign-ups.
- Outreach to the first 10 prospects in my network.
