I want to put together a timeline like @yegg had once, not sure where it went since his blog switched to Medium. But I've been working on side projects since I was at least 16, I have tried to build competitors to services like MailChimp, Facebook, etc. It's a ton of failure honestly, but it has been a fun ride. My biggest failure is due to lack of focus on ONE project, which I have changed recently and built the habits required to stay hyper-focused on just one or two things. I am doing contract work to help fund myself building and hiring a team to build a massive & global side project now. Who knows if it will get traction, but just like the others, it is merely a FUN experiment.
- warewolf 10y agoYou sound like me haha, always working on different things what I have found works best for me is working with others who have skills or experience in those projects directly. People who can help scale and maintain the product. I think of it as a investment. I'm currently working on 3 projects in all different areas. Looking for a partner for 4 which is a Saas for life automation. Also drewwilson.com has a cool timeline for his projects check it out
