Find one paying customer first, build only what they need, then find the second
Most side businesses die in the planning stage, under a logo and a plan for a customer who does not exist yet. This book reverses the order. Twelve weekends, one task each, five to eight hours a weekend — and by weekend twelve either you have a small business with real revenue or you have learned, cheaply, that this idea was not it, and you have the method for the next one.
Weekends 1–3 · Find the customer
Twenty problems you already know, ten conversations, the smallest offer.
Weekends 4–6 · Sell before you build
The one-page site, deliver by hand, the first ten paying customers — or pivot.
Weekends 7–9 · Make it repeatable
The delivery checklist, price and packages, the legal and money basics.
Weekends 10–12 · Grow or decide
One channel done properly, protecting the day job, the honest review: keep, grow, sell or stop.
How it is written
Every weekend: the idea, this weekend's task with a deliverable, and the number for the one-page scoreboard. Free or nearly free tools throughout.
Who this is for
People with a job, a laptop and a skill — not capital, not a co-founder, not a technical background. Not legal, tax or financial advice.
