You don't much sound like you are happy. You are in debt, you are still working for someone else, you can't make solid business-technical wise decisions based on merit. You think you come up with really really good? ideas. Maybe you are just a dreamer.
- neya 14y agoYour comment is a bit harsh. But, you are wrong. I just posted my experience, a brief of what has happened all these years. Now, I'm earning a decent amount, and my debts are diminishing drastically with each month. I am not focusing full time on developing products for others just because I will make a lot of money, because I'm building a product for myself. Hence I want to keep my burn rate really low. I take very very few number of projects with high budgets, just to help me sustain for 6 months or so. So, I will have some time to work for myself. And happiness - I am happy. I don't know what made you conclude otherwise. I am not working for someone else. I am offering a service, and people who are interested are paying for it. I still make the main decisions, including business and technical-wise. Because these are the kinds of clients I specifically want to deal with. In a company, things are different. You follow orders, no matter who you are (designer, developer, etc.) I have this freedom now. I am not just a dreamer. I am an avid dreamer. And I am proud of it. But most of my dreams have come to life too. Thank you for your comment.
