How I Work: $40K/Month Solopreneur

The gist

1. Handle customer support first every morning before anything else, as it speeds up product improvements and retention more than chasing new features.
2. Work in sprints, not fixed daily schedules: launch phases run 8 to 10 hours, while maintenance phases need only 1 to 2 hours.
3. Limit yourself to one project per day beyond support to cut context-switching and force clarity on what actually matters.
4. Friks says financial anxiety only eased once monthly recurring revenue cleared $3K and savings felt stable, which actually reduced his working hours.
