    Good luck - pro tip: make customer relations your #1 priority. Then make it your #2 one as well. Customers will be more forgiving of late delivery, bugs, whatever than they will be of being left in the dark and not communicated honestly with.

    but be careful making your relations customers (relatives/friends) - too often ends badly.

      Went to the Dutch Chamber of Commerce yesterday to finish my CoC registration and so Juun Software was born! :D I'll be switching to a 32 hour work week for my current employer and spend at least 8 hours a week for my own business. I'm already working on a project (some custom software for a startup), but it's hard next to a 40 hour work week. I've got everything covered financially, so I can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride :D So remember that name, Juun Software. You'll be seeing it next to Microsoft, Apple, and Google in a couple of years ;p

                  Very cool. My ratio is 24 / 16, but I told them (my employer) that if they actually have enough work and interesting work worthy of my time -- their words, not mine -- that I would consider 32 / 8.

                  I hope to go to 24/16 in a year or so. The next step would be full time I guess. The benefit of 32/8 is that I don't need any income from my own business at all to pay my bills and so I've got practically 0% (financial) risk.

                      Best of luck. When I started out with Comport Computing, I had a similar desire to yours. But, I ended up being the CEO and Janitor, too. I left a 40 hour work week and ended up working 80 hours a week. I did have more fun and made more mon ey than before, but relaxing only made me lose business. Then I ended up losing it all when I had a stroke. Now I'm trying to figure out how to start over again. Some people never learn, not even the hard way. I'm still finishing a PHD and a business degree, too. I could just retire, but I tried that fpor a few days and decided it was too boring!

                                    Marked as SPAM! OK, no I didn't but it's only because of the double-standard on CP. :-\

                                    Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

                                      Went to the Dutch Chamber of Commerce yesterday to finish my CoC registration and so Juun Software was born! :D I'll be switching to a 32 hour work week for my current employer and spend at least 8 hours a week for my own business. I'm already working on a project (some custom software for a startup), but it's hard next to a 40 hour work week. I've got everything covered financially, so I can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride :D So remember that name, Juun Software. You'll be seeing it next to Microsoft, Apple, and Google in a couple of years ;p

                                      Good luck Sander

                                      Don't let your mind wander too far. It's too small to be let out alone.
