Hi Fastlaners, nice to meet you all!
As a short introduction, the title says almost everything about my 13-year journey as an internet enthusiast. I am a software engineer with many years experience, now making a living as a small marketing agency.
I am launching software projects for about 13 years now, but boy, I think I learned my lessons. Even if my projects made a buck here and there, most of them were "hobby" projects, not businesses (because, well, a business is a profit center, not a time-consuming-no-profit-activity).
After many years writing software (12+ hours a day writing software - 8 hours a day in a job), I learned my lessons. Too much "programmer" thinking (yes, I love solving concurrent database problems, caching critical parts and optimizing processes) and way too less business thinking. Understanding this (at 28 I made the shift, this means 2.5 years ago), I changed my career to excel the business side as well. It meant to give up my software job and start full-time on my own as a marketer (tough and great decision at the same time).
Now I am making a living making sales online for my clients.
I made a lot of mistakes so far, and many others to come I suppose..
I have joined the forum because I enjoy MJ's wisdom and also to find inspiration on the next (software?) business to pursue.
See you around!
