It's a good time to be small, never been a better time to do your own thing. After 15y~ of doing megacorps, I was terrified to be on my own, but I got out there and talked to friends about what they were doing and how I can help. I'm wielding two contracts and two retainers all while building software I sell for myself. It feels absolutely crazy to send someone an invoice and they send me money, as if I've unlocked some secret ability. This month is the first month I'm making more than I was as a corper. Don't let the game tell you how to play anymore. The tools are out there and are better than ever.
