Does your one-person operation let you pay the bills or do you do it on the side?

I sometimes see small shops here on the streets of Lisbon and they seem like specialty shops where (I imagine) old men who have perfected their craft sell their wares and services. When I pass them I think to myself that the world would be way better if everyone sought to be a master of their craft, if they just focused on one thing and on doing it well...like Jiro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-aGPniFvS0).



It is my sole income and sole work. Definitely lets me pay the bills


Are you a fan of rob Walling? If not, you should look him up:

Very cool. This is exactly the type of book I was looking for ideas on how to better describe my current situation and for ideas on where to go next.


Awesome. Just noticed you're in Montreal too. My email's in my profile if you want to talk. I'm not a developer but find most of the advice still applies.
