OMG: Build in Public #1
It's been 73 days. February revenue: €0. But behind that zero: new stories, improved AI image tech, a website overhaul, and an exciting new UX project. The messy middle is where the magic happens.

Hey, I'm Marco.
On January 1st, 2025, I asked myself a question: "Can AI help a solo founder hit €1M?"
Instead of just wondering, I decided to put it to the test. With AI as my co-pilot, I set out to build a €1M business from scratch—all while keeping my day job.
No fluff. No shortcuts. Just the raw, unfiltered reality of my One Million Goal. I share everything—the wins, the struggles, and the lessons that actually make a difference.
Are you curious about what's possible when you go all-in with AI?
It's been 73 days since the beginning of this journey, and what a ride it's been already. I know, I'm a bit late with the update... turns out balancing multiple projects doesn't always leave room for timely reflections.
Ever feel like you're spinning multiple plates while trying to learn how to juggle at the same time? That's been my February in a nutshell.
Let me start with the cold, hard truth – February revenue: €0.
Yes, you read that right. After sharing my previous €932 revenue (which was actually accumulated over previous months), I'm showing a month with no income. I deliberately decided to temporarily deactivate the advertising behind babytales.ai while I rework some elements of the project.
But revenue doesn't tell the whole story of what's happening behind the scenes.
