One thing leads to another
The first business I had was building computers for friends, this gave me the knowledge and experience to move onto being a freelance software engineer.
I met some great software engineers, that thought me a lot
Not just the tech and how to be a better software engineer but also what it takes to service clients and deliver quality.
Travel & meet clients from all around the world
The older I get the more I realise how it's the experiences that make my life more "rich" and there is nothing better than travelling and meeting new clients.
New opportunities to set-up new businesses
Along the way I met individuals that have expressed interest in setting up a new business and opens new doors for you to experience.
I share more about my story on a podcast I was on recently where we discussed the following topics:
- Starting your own freelance business
- Remote work
- Getting your first client
- What does it take to run a software company
- Burn out and how to "avoid" it
- How we need to do more to inspire future solopreneur
