Congrats Jocke. Seeing your boss in the mirror every morning and working without a net ain't easy, but it has a lot of rewards. Here's to 30 more.

Congratulations!

Coincidentally, I passed 30 years self-(un)-employment this summer. Still working at artfully turning a phrase to discourage certain customers; but it has mostly been a good career.

Congrats! That's really awesome. I started my own business recently too. Always wanted to be an entrepreneur. Specialists from EffectiveSoft Corporation helped me a lot with business software development. They provide custom web development services at the highest level and found the right direction for my business
