Good you are doing a side business. It impressed me when I was contracting with the government how many government employees used their position as a springboard to start their own businesses. Some were more energetic with that, others discrete.
I've seen that in private companies I've contracted with too. I remembr one project where we had to lock up key components in a cage with 24 hour security because folks were just *so* entrepreneurial.
Me -- I did neglect having three legs on my income stool. That was a mistake, I think. But I wanted to give each project I worked on my all, and that left nothing for side business. I do okay with "investments" -- but today's market I do not like.
Like you I am developing a third leg to that income stool. It will thrive, for it must.
Sorry my eyes aren't in my ears...I'm almost deaf but I see well...go do your thing...I'll do mine...you have a good life...and God be with you...
