Free from 9 to 5 Chronicles of people and ideas to inspire and achieve freedom from a 9 to 5 job

Hey Eric. I subscribed to your feed a few weeks ago. Can’t remember anymore how I ended up at your site, but looking forward to following your progress with your software project, hoping some day you can leave the the 9-5 job (a goal we share!)
Best of luck, Lisa

Hi

I’m from Hungary, and just started my own company.

I’m not really a lurker – you should already know I read your blog – hope everything is coming along great for you!

I enjoy reading your blog. Best of luck.

Dave

I read your blog as if it was a bible!

I’m someone who badly needs to be free from 9-5. I tried leaving *major-ass-kicking* jobs twice to start businesses; but failed. I found your blog thru another site (microISV?); and I’m interested in your progress very, very, much.

Keep it going, and do something for us: blog-less ppl.

I particularly liked your “Don’t want to be a Corporate Sheep” post. Good luck with that!

I’m a 9 to 5 ‘er, sort of. I have my own small software consulting and web hosting business, but am trying to find that one idea to make the jump into ISV land and leave the 9 to 5 paid by the hour life style.

I’m a programmer by trade and Indie game developer by night. My dream is to eventually support myself selling games online and quit working for the man. It has been a long haul so far (I started in 2001) I suffer from three common afflictions of Indies’: technology churn, do-it-all-yourself-itous and biting off more than you can chew. Hopefully, I’ve finally settle into a plan and technology that fit my strengths, and isn’t too ambitious. I’m sure looking back one day I value my tenacity to stick with it this long but right now it just feels like I’m foolishly thrashing about.

Dawg!!

I thought you would NEVER ask.

Gladly. I will proudly post a comment.

Dawg, keep writing! Keep us informed of your software product.

BTW, feel free to link-whore me on your front page. I can’t resist bringing that up with the stats you have discovered.

I’ve been reading your blog for the past few weeks. Not sure how I ended up here

Over the past four years I’ve been selling, via my web site and some other channels, some software I developed. I’m currently in the process of branding everything and moving into the Windows software arena with some different types of products. Made a little money over that time. Learned a lot about marketing and the business side of things. The programming part is the easy part

I wish you well–perhaps you’re site is becoming a beacon for many of us with similar dreams.

greetings!! I have been reading your feed for a little while after finding your site due to a post on another blog I follow. I think MicroISV, yup found my little post about it back Apr 25 ( http://tinyurl.com/amz77 )

from a fellow “wanna be free (of 9-5)”

Came here while browsing around reading about Nick Bradbury. Think it was from microISV.
Good luck with what doing, hope it pans out. I’d like to something like it but keep reading blogs instead!
