A Larger Example: Auto Repairs by Projects
Turning weekend dev projects into new brakes, tires, and peace of mind.
Goals
$1,000 for brakes & tires
$1,850 for second car tires
Summary
Instead of juggling many small projects, one longer engagement provided stability and exceeded the stretch goal. Consistent weekend work hours carried this through over a few months.
The Story
Instead of piecing together 3–4 short gigs, I landed one longer-term project that more than covered the target. I set a modest goal, scoped work for weekends, and searched on platforms like Guru and Upwork.
That long project turned into the breakthrough—paying for brakes and tires, and even allowing for the second car upgrade. This reinforced that flexible planning can open the door to exceeding initial goals.
