I've started too many failed businesses to count. 

First there was the diary app. Then there was the 3 years I worked on a startup for real estate transactions. The real-time CSS tool. A learning management system. The SAAS app for actors to upload their auditions.

I finally found some success with a small business I created which made me around 20k last year.

If you're a software engineer interested in starting your own business I'm going to lay out some practical, no-nonsense advice for you to start and what I'd do differently if I was beginning today. 

As a coder, you have a top tier skill that can help others makes boat loads of money by implementing their ideas. Why not build your own?
