Status report, 3 March 2008
Monday, March 3rd, 2008I’ve been doing contract work instead of MicroISV work.
Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing. Getting paid is nice. It’s just not precisely the direction I want to go in. It’s still a good direction. If I managed to build a self-sustaining consulting/custom dev firm, then that would be a great outcome. That’s just not where I intend to go right now. It involves a lot more capital and a lot more risk and as far as my financial goals go, it’s unnecessarily grand.
There have been some small developments on the business admin side of things. I’ve got a company name now - Mutex Labs. I’m vetting a number of graphic designers to do logos and websites. I’ll be talking to an accountant soon to work out how best to structure my affairs (large tax bills are already a problem). I continue to read and study and gather ideas for the marketing side of things. There have been more good product ideas.
I guess everything is just coming along nicely. My contracting time is heavily booked until about halfway through April, and that’s assuming nothing new comes along in the meantime. Taking a holiday is sounding very appealing right now!
