I started a software development company while employed as tech support for another software development company. I later quit my job to develop my company. My boss didn't mind. I was 23 and I didn't really play it smart. Things got tough and I hit a few roadblocks. I had to work some smaller jobs just to get by and keep working on my company. Eventually, it started to pick up and the project started to bring enough of an income to sustain myself.
It's been 2 years since things stabilized. I've moved around from city to city, country to country. It's been an amazing experience working on what I like and embracing the freedom of self-employment. Despite the volatile journey, I do not regret my general choices (though some decisions could've been executed better, in hindsight). I've learned so much!
I am now on the verge of releasing a new version of my software that should propel my company to new heights. Exciting times!
My advice is to never give up :P
