So I’m finally taking the plunge. I’m going to have a crack at doing this software thing solo. I’ve thought about trying for years, and, well, there’s no better time than the present to actually give it a shot.
My goal is to become financially independent, to make and build things that can bring in income somewhat passively, for me to experiment with technology, learn new things, actually release things into the wild and start building a better, healthier life for myself. It’s definitely a daunting prospect, but I’m not going to know whether or not I can make it work unless I try. I’m giving myself permission to fail, but fail in the right way, to learn what works, what doesn’t, what to focus on and hopefully be happier while doing it.
I’m embracing my inner ADHD-like tendencies at the moment, by trying out lots of different things. I’ve got numerous projects on the go at once, webapps, mobile apps, a data processing engine that I aim to try to build out into a B2B SaaS, and maybe something will stick, maybe none of it will, but each thing I try, I’ll have developed a framework that I can reuse for the next one.
