Good question!
I know ultimately I want my own product. A simple, niche, probably boring, product that myself and my wife can maintain, and ideally - pay for our living expenses. That's the big shiny goal.
My agency (of 8 years) was acquired late last year, and I'm currently a little burnt out. I have so many ideas, a smattering of self-doubt, and I think deep down a bit to prove to myself.
So at the moment i'm taking a break, and focusing on something a bit left-of-centre (for me at least).
I am writing all my experiences of starting and running a software agency up at https://devtoagency.com https://devtoagency.com . It's oddly cathartic, and as somewhen who has never written before I am finding it a mixture of fun, exciting, nerve-wracking and again - sometimes self-doubt inducing.
For the first time in my life I am also part of a community (on Twitter). I am conversing, and helping new developers, and it feels good... It's not all about "me", and I think that's what I need this minute.
This just turned into a weird self-help exposé ;)
TLDR; I am focusing on helping others through writing and community building.
