INTRO -- Corporate tech guy looking to escape the 9-5

[robhudsontech]

Hey everyone,

I'm a software developer who would like to leverage my coding skills to leave the corporate world. I own and have read MJs books.

Considering I am new to entrepreneurship, I have learned about the freelance business model, which may work well. A relatively recent thread shows promise of this.

I am also aware of YouTube channels that demonstrate that this approach works for the sake of leaving a 9-5 job.

However, I understand this does not follow the CENTS framework. So I'm interested in hearing what others think about freelancing.

I'm eager to create something of my own, hopefully identifying a pain point by offering my coding abilities as a service of some sort in the hopes of creating a SaaS product or growing into an agency.

Would love thoughts and advice. I'm open to new perspectives. Thanks.

NOTABLE! HOT! IDEA  Thread 'You Don’t Have to be a Freelancer'

Jan 31, 2023

Copywriting proponents always talk about how it’s good for someone just starting out. I want to challenge them to find a single copywriter that went on to start a successful multimillion dollar unrelated company.

It’s a lie, distraction, and cop out. No one shows up to an entrepreneur forum with a modicum of ambition wishing they could be a keyboard ninja 18 hours a day.

The freelance cultist groupthink needs to stop. This is an entrepreneur forum and not a support group for struggling freelancers. We are here to actually thrive.

You might wonder why I’m so vehement about this lately...
