My Dad The Engineer

Here in the UK there are football players who make £200,000 a week kicking a ball around a piece of grass.

There is more to life than money (as long as you have enough money), I'd be happy with the equivalent to £25K a year and a job I love for the rest of my life.

I started my own business not because I wanted to get rich (I doubt that will ever happen in the sense of making millions) but because I wanted to build good B2B software in a niche where none currenty exists and because I felt unchallenged/overworked in my previous jobs.

Please try to ignore the footballers and celebrities who make obviously more money than they ought to. They are definitely outliers (combination of genetics, support system, and good coaching). Just be the best you can be at your chosen niche. That's what I'm trying to do.
