How to Be a Self-Sufficient Project Building Machine

I like the idea that you set up your life in such a way where you can keep building new things. I think just getting to that point where people give you some money as early as possible is much easier. Once you find the problem that's painful, the customer has enough money to pay your reasonable fee for it. You've been through quite a lot with this journey. Obviously it started off in sort of a scary traumatic place but now you have all these great benefits and you're sort of a self-sufficient project building machine.
