My primary motivation to start a business was freedom. Having no boss and a ton of spare time. I got lucky and have something almost running on auto pilot. I'm not eager to start another business, I rather enjoy chilling at the pool and browsing HN. I guess this is the opposite of most VC funded YC startups eager to take over the world.

It's a niche platform where subscribers/members post listings where other members respond to. The listings are public and indexed by Google, new customer acquisition is driven by organic trafic and word of mouth.
