I saved up enough money to leave my job and build a niche software product. Fingers crossed, it will be launching early 2011.

It's terrifying, and I'm broke, but I have learned I am infinitely happier when I'm calling my own shots.

My hope for 2011 is to have a business which is profitable enough for me to carry on working for myself, and not look for another job.

Good luck everyone in 2011.
