I'm attempting to build something that will pay the mortgage and put food on the table. To me, that's the difference between waking up and working on something meaningful or accepting project to pay the bills.
Just recently returned from my honeymoon in New Zealand. We stayed in Golden Bay for a night and had some drinks and food at the Mussel Inn. Nelson was certainly one of my favorite towns.
When I was younger, It was always my intention to work remotely in NZ. I never was able to pull it off, although I got close. I never gave up the dream though, and hearing stories like this keep me motivated.
Congrats. I've been working on a SaaS web app for awhile now but I've become my own worst enemy when it comes to just finishing the damn thing. Thanks to your story I'll be getting back to work on it.
