| | I'm doing consulting to bootstrap my startup. Business has been great these past years. My problem is it's taking me so long to release my product. I also have a couple of other ideas that I can't find time to work on. The immediate income gained from consulting is very tempting for someone with a wife, a kid, monthly expenses, and mortgages. Consulting became the priority and startup work moved back. For those who experienced something like this, how did you handle it? How did you break free from consulting? |

For me it was simple; a 3-month consulting gig will give me a financial runway for the next year. So I am doing it, and nothing else. Come December 1st I will have enough to live comfortably for the next year, probably 2 years if I move to somewhere cheaper and bring my fiancee over.
