Read the book about 3 years ago.
Like many I did nothing with it, but it was always in the back of my mind lurking.

I am a self taught developer looking to break form my slow lane day job.
I have the skill set and desire to move to the fast lane.
However, I can't seem to figure out how to monetize it.

Anyway, I hope to be a valuable contributor to the forum.

Thanks.

Hey MJ.
I'm not sure there is really a huge difference this time around.
Although much greater now, my desire to leave the 9-5 has always been there.
I've spent the past few years learning how to code (among many other things) - literally almost every spare second I had.
Maybe the difference now is that I am armed with the skills and confidence to make it happen.
I'm not back here to beg or ask people "how do I get rich?"; I DO have a plan and starting to take some action.
I'm back because mostly because the knowledge on the forum is off the charts.
I will be seeking advise on some things that are preventing me from taking it to the next level, but my intention is to reciprocate and contribute in return.
Progress thread in the near future...

Progress thread in the near future...

Two days after you posted this, you disappeared, perhaps for another 3 years. As you already know, declarations on forums change nothing other than making you feel good for a few hours. Still waiting on that progress thread...

Team up with an "idea man" on the forum and take some equity.

Most Dev's scoff at the idea of taking equity instead of money up front but it may be what you're looking for.
