The Adventure Begins

Posted by Ben on August 28, 2006

I officially resigned from my Senior Software Engineering position at Intuit earlier today. I have been thinking about using my talents to start a company for quite some time now. After attending RailsConf, I became very motivated and started to seriously consider my options. After a couple months of planning, some luck, and the stars lining up, I decided to make the plunge.

Here is an overview of my plans for the next six months:

1. Expand my software development consulting business, Esomnie. I started this company in 2001 when I was attending school and continued to service clients while I was working fulltime.

2. Use the revenue from Esomnie to fund some basic web applications that I would like to build.

3. Build enough residual income from these basic web applications to start focusing on some of my large project ideas.

My blog will service as a diary of my business activities over the next couple of months. I am hoping that by writing about my daily business and technical activities, I will be able to better reflect upon my business goals while providing the software development and entrepreneurial communities with insider look of a self-funded startup.
