  1. Two funding paths side by side: debt and savings on the left where you carry the risk, pre-selling on the right where customers fund the run, with an MOQ coverage meter filling toward a fund-or-refund threshold

    Field guide · April 28, 2026

    Pre-orders and pre-selling: fund a first product run without debt

    A pre-order funds your first production run and proves demand at the same time — if you run it honestly and never spend the money before you ship.

    • Customers fund the run, not your credit card
    • Break-even = run cost / contribution per order
    • Fund-or-refund removes your downside

    Field guide · April 23, 2026

    Wholesale vs direct-to-consumer: margin, volume, and who owns the customer

    The two roads for a physical product: what wholesale's fifty-percent haircut actually buys, what DTC's full margin actually costs, the customer-ownership question that outweighs both, and how small brands sequence the two channels instead of choosing forever.

    • Wholesale buys volume with margin
    • DTC margin is not free
    • The list is the real asset

    Field guide · April 21, 2026

    Your first paid ads on a tiny budget (and when to skip them)

    Treat your first paid ads as a small, kill-switch experiment, not a faucet you turn on for instant customers.

    Asset allocation for the self-employed: building a portfolio around lumpy income

    Portfolio construction when income refuses to be monthly: the difference between risk tolerance and risk capacity, why the emergency fund is an asset class for operators, layered buckets that absorb lumpy cash flow, and keeping the whole structure boring enough to survive.

    • Capacity is not tolerance
    • Cash is an asset class for you
    • Buckets absorb the lumps
