$60K, solo

One loom running under a work lamp in a vast dead mill, thirty other looms still and dust-sheeted

By July 2025, my business was doing $30K a month. In September, it did more than $60K at roughly 95 percent margins. Revenue, margin, and timing all moved together.

I had no team. One person and the machine were doing what thirty employees used to do. That comparison is not a metaphor or a projection. It is the operating contrast attached to the September result.

One week, I billed 168 hours. Seven days contain 168 hours. That figure sits beside the $60K month and the roughly 95 percent margins as another measure of the same solo operation.

The headline is literal. More than $60K. Solo. Roughly 95 percent margins. No team. Specificity supplies the force.

September also carried Kaneibus. I gave my self-destructive alter ego the name of my old RuneScape and World of Warcraft characters. Then I wrote the eulogy.

September held both sides. The numbers measured the solo business. Kaneibus named an alter ego from my old games, and I wrote its eulogy.

One person and a machine matched work once done by thirty employees. That same September, Kaneibus moved from an old character name to the name of my self-destructive alter ego.

Then came the eulogy. I named Kaneibus, and I wrote it.

By July, $30K a month. In September, more than $60K at about 95 percent margins. No team. One week billed at 168 hours. The figures carry the business side without an adjective.

I did not need thirty employees this time. I had the machine, the work, and the measured output. The month closed with exact numbers, while September also held a name from old games and a eulogy for the alter ego carrying it.
