I've been lurking here for a couple of months and only just noticed the
guidelines, specifically "no lurking!", so sorry. (How often do you read email
footers?)
Apologies aside, here is a quick introduction, and my most pressing
entrepreneurial question:
Intro
In short, I'm a Software Engineer who lives in Sydney, writes a lot of code
both at work and home, and loves using technology to make people's lives better
and/or easier.
If you want to know more about that you can read a bio here.
I've joined the list because I've found over my ten years of experience that
it's frustrating when I have a great idea and the people above me, who make the
decisions, don't act on it.
That's their prerogative, for sure, but I'd like to be in the position where I
get to make decisions, follow my own path and see where that takes me.
Question
My questions is:
What tips do you have for starting a business part-time? (And getting to
full-time.)
I read Bart's "22 ways to fail" and noticed that "Don't give up your day job"
is apparently a great way to fail (d'oh!), so I wouldn't be surprised to get a
lot of "don't bother" answers.
But I'm sure there must be people who've done this and have either a success
story, or an interesting failure that we could all learn from.
I've read Jason Cohen's "Employed with a side of startup", which has some great
advice.
I'd love to just hear some tips from more people who've been in the trenches
and come out the other side wiser.
Cheers,
Graham.
