  Stackingthebricks.com is an awesome resource that I just stumbled upon yesterday! I'm glad you liked the article.
  
  My goal is to own a business built around the lifestyle I want to lead while also providing a ton of value to my customers. Starting small has worked well for me with new habits and routines. Why not apply that to Indie Hacking?

    This is my approach as well. Start with small bets. Get a couple wins under my belt. Build confidence and slowly increase the size of the swings!

Hi Brian, I totally agree with building a tiny product first. I have recently started a small website https://makerstack.club/. It is my first product that I have made, so there is still a lot room for improvement. First I want to try to get some users in the list. Nice article!

  Hi Nick,
  
  Congrats on shipping Makerstack! I can't take credit for the article, I just wanted to share the value with others here.
  
  I have been spinning my wheels to make progress, but starting small reduces risk. It's easier to work toward something when you can crank it out quickly and avoid overwhelm.
  
  Thanks for the comment :)
