"I'll just build it myself" has gotten you in (good) trouble.

You've been told you're "too commercial" for builders and "too hands-on" for business.
Your superpower
Taking something from "doesn't exist" to "people are using it."
Your shadow
You start more than you finish. Focus is the tax on your range — pick the one thing and let the others wait.
