When you say your own business, do you mean you work as an independent contractor or did you build your own software application that you are selling as a service or a one time purchase?
I'm curious about this as I too want to work independently in the future but not sure which approach to take
Ive had 3 that supported me and my family - first was a computer service business, think repairs and parts. Stopped that in 2012 and moved into doing apps.
I made my own accounting system which didn't get traction, and realised I was better off doing the thing I was good at - making software. Had 3 of us in the end but moved on from that in 2021 and started a distillery.
So no it at all anymore, or at least for now
I sometimes think getting out of tech is the dream lol. Hope the distillery business treats you well
