We all love strategy.
Funnel diagrams. PLG loops. Growth hacks.
But after building Indie10k — my “growth gym” for indie devs — I realized something uncomfortable:
strategy doesn’t matter if you don’t show up every day.
The Myth of the Perfect Plan
When I started Indie10k, I thought success meant finding the right playbook.
I studied frameworks, copied funnels, and tweaked pricing models for weeks.
None of it moved the needle.
Why? Because growth doesn’t come from knowing the path — it comes from walking it.
The Power of Consistency
What actually worked was simple:
One rep. Every day.
A small action: write a post, fix an onboarding bug, or talk to one user.
Each rep gave me data.
The data gave me clarity.
And clarity made strategy obvious.
That’s when I learned:
Strategy is a compass.
Practice is the engine.
You can’t steer a car that isn’t moving.
For Indie Hackers, Momentum > Motivation
If you’re building your first (or fifth) SaaS, don’t chase perfect strategy.
Chase momentum.
Because momentum compounds.
One rep turns into a streak.
A streak turns into insight.
Insight turns into growth.
That’s how every “overnight success” actually happens — one boring, consistent day at a time.
💪 Rep Today
Do one rep — something small but repeatable.
Ship. Share. Learn. Repeat.
Your strategy will get sharper the longer you stay in motion.
