I got there via freelancing. I was unhappy at a company where the owner was making poor business decisions (in hiring, management and general business direction) and began freelancing in my off hours. Got so much work I had to subcontract it. Realised the potential of the services I was providing and started a company. Just put on my 13th employee and not looking back.

I would like to talk to you about how you did this. I'm in a bit of a similar situation, and could use some advice.

Google my hacker news username. Should be easy enough to get in touch. :)
