9–5, family, building startups on the side.

building while walking until i can make a living from my own products

2026: selling first, building second.

[Timo 🌱 @TimoBuilds_]

i blamed my walking pad for becoming furniture

turns out i was the problem

i made a habit i can't skip
then i've broke the trigger: building = walking

time to bring the habit back

(thx @ogi_joo for the hint)

“we don’t need a new website, we already have an agency”

that’s what a potential client told me last week

but i've convinced him to show my work to him

i already rebuilt the landing page they’re spending money on Google Ads for

not just to make it prettier (that obviously too) but a focus on increasing their conversion rate and turn more clicks into customers

called him again during my lunch break today

we’re meeting on thursday so i can show him the actual result 🥳

no deal yet, but i’m finally selling a potential outcome instead of just promising my work

would you build something upfront to win a client?

@VynseDev @tibo_maker @marclou is enough to get a lot of attention

[Timo 🌱 @TimoBuilds_]

@brianball niiice 😂

but this lossless guy isn't with in

[Timo 🌱 @TimoBuilds_]

who’s this lossless guy and why is he featured on every second song on spotify?

[Timo 🌱 @TimoBuilds_]

@vmkbuilds true, everyone is clauding this days, but selling keeps the hard part

filming with my phone kept interrupting my work

Day 6 building while walking
7,397 steps

mounted an action cam so my phone stays free
what can’t you work without?

[Timo 🌱 @TimoBuilds_]

@tibo_maker looks like you've lost your tongue too

[Timo 🌱 @TimoBuilds_]

looks like trackmania in real life

wall rides next

[Tesla @Tesla]

Real life, baby

Day 5 building while walking

16,305 steps today

finally found my zero-friction setup:

Garmin in my pocket, no workout, no app, just step on and walk (everytime again)

the easier the habit starts, the easier it sticks

What’s your best “just works” solution?

[Timo 🌱 @TimoBuilds_]

@FlowHaa Me too!

the start was the most effective way to get the best time. got a lot of coach instructions

[Timo 🌱 @TimoBuilds_]

funny what gets you excited at 33

cycled 48.86 km to work and back today

but the number i’m happiest about is 13.4 secs

13.4 secs for running 100 m sprint
26.9 km/h on my own legs 🫡

the final discipline i needed for my German Gold Sports Badge 🥇

between my 9–5, family and building SaaS, there’s always something to do

felt pretty damn good to finish something that has nothing to do with a screen

ran 100 m for three times
my legs are absolutely fried now, lol

[Timo 🌱 @TimoBuilds_]

pov: it’s 5 am and you’re commuting through the fog to your 9–5

while everyone else is sleeping

@martinpcolley well made!

just a matter of training km :)

[Timo 🌱 @TimoBuilds_]

@DanielSmidstrup might i redesign it?

[Timo 🌱 @TimoBuilds_]

@DanielSmidstrup B feels reading better, but still not satisfying. the black text is blocking imo
