The Misfit Engine™

The Misfit Engine™ is a simple idea: if your life has real constraints, your business has to be designed around them, not built as if they are a temporary inconvenience.

That means you stop copying advice that only works when someone has quiet hours, steady energy, and low stakes, and you stop treating every interruption as proof you’re doing it wrong. Your time, your energy, your brain, your family, and your risk are not side notes. They are the brief.

That’s what I mean by The Constrained Founder. You are not failing at business. You are trying to build inside a life that does not pause. Once you accept that, you stop chasing fantasy goals and you start making choices you can actually keep making next week.

Right now, The Misfit Engine™ is the thinking and the stance, and the book is where I’ve written that down properly. The practical system - the step-by-step layer that helps you apply it when your week is noisy - is still being built. It will probably become a subscription because this is not a “read once and you’re cured” situation, but it is not ready yet and I’m not going to pretend otherwise.

Where to go from here:

If you want a business you can still run in five years without it breaking your life, the book is where you start.
