Why it works
- Selling every single day is what most solo founders skip.
- Friday ship forces something real out each week.
- Sunday planning means Monday starts by building, not deciding.

Questions
How should a solo founder split their time?
Roughly half building and half selling. Early on, more selling is usually right.
