Chapter 18: Outro — Your First Loop Starts Now
You’ve reached the end of this handbook.
But really, this isn’t the end. It’s the beginning.
You now know the rhythm:
List → Pick → Ship → Ask → Measure → Share.
Six steps. One loop. Evidence over intuition.
The magic of TenK 6 isn’t in reading about it.
It’s in running it.
The Indie Founder Advantage
You don’t need a big team, a giant budget, or investor permission.
As an indie founder, you have speed, focus, and freedom.
What you need is momentum.
And momentum is built loop by loop.
What Happens Next
Here’s the only task I’ll leave you with:
👉 Run your first loop.
-
Write down 5 ideas tonight.
-
Pick one tomorrow.
-
Ship something this week.
-
Ask 3 people for feedback.
-
Measure one thing that matters.
-
Share your progress publicly.
That’s it. One loop.
When you finish, reflect. Then run another.
And another.
And another.
Soon, you’ll look back and realize: you didn’t just ship features—you built momentum.
A Final Word
Reaching $10k MRR isn’t magic.
It’s not luck.
It’s the compounding effect of dozens of small loops, stacked patiently and relentlessly.
The sooner you start, the sooner momentum takes over.
So don’t just close this book.
Close your laptop, grab a sticky note, and write:
List 5.
Your first loop starts now.
