The bottleneck is no longer the work. It’s you.

1. 2011 Fired from my last real job. I decided I would rather work eighty hours a week for myself than forty for someone else. I have not had a boss since.
2. 2013–2023 Built a billing platform. Grew it for a decade. Every year of it done the expensive way:
   • ✕Paid developers for years to build things I could not evaluate myself.
   • ✕Hired ahead of revenue more than once, and paid for it more than once.
   • ✕Watched good ideas die in a queue behind a sprint that was already full.
3. 2023 Sold it. A decade of work and a decent outcome at the end of it. It still taught me less than the two years that came after.
4. Now Six products, and a team most people would call impossibly small. The part that had always been expensive stopped being expensive. I write down what that actually takes, one thing at a time, every week.
