Having worked for quite a number of years in IT and spent the last few years working as a self-employed IT Consultant on projects worth tens of millions of dollars, it all got too much in September and I decided enough was enough before it killed me.
I have always had more of an interest in SAAS and glueing the back end and data together than app design so have spent the last few months focusing on Twitter semantic analysis and building systems to identify fake Twitter accounts and bots and use Twitter to build pre-qualified marketing leads.
In summary, I finished coding on Friday, spent Saturday testing and put a pricing page on the website this Sunday afternoon. I took the dog for a walk, got home and had an order.
Now the hard work begins and for once I am looking forward to it because it is building on something which I have created and ultimately control. These two things, 'create something' and 'control' are my main take aways from MJ's brilliant book.
And the reason I am doing this? I have no interest in cars and believe less is more. My motivators are simply 'I have achieved something on my terms' and no longer having to wake up at 3:30 am on a Monday morning to travel 500 miles get back home 22:30 on Friday.
My first sale is $10.00 but it is the start.
