I built tomsplanner.com in 2007/2008 without really knowing if there was a need for it. It was just something I would have liked to have in my project manager days.

My wife thought it was an excellent idea. I wasn't convinced. But I really liked the challenge of building it. It took me two and a half years and I reasoned that if it would fail as a business at least I would have had some really fun years. I supported the thing by occasionally doing some freelance work and living frugally.

After launching it in 2009, it turned out lots of people liked it. Now 14 years later, it's still a very viable business.

So to all you stubborn and freewheeling people out there, go get them! It's great!

Today, in a way, my motivation is still the same. I should focus all my attention on marketing, SEO, and promotion. That's where more growth, money, and 'success' are to be found, but I just want go over the top with the quality of product and customer support. Financially probably not the wisest course but "I (still) don't care".
