Changing hat from consultant to product developer

, September 21, 2009

Today, I’m starting a bit of an adventure. Today I’m hoping to change the focus of my business from a consulting focused business over to a product focused business. I’m sure that there will be plenty of consulting that will continue to occur, but I’m hoping to develop a “product” for sale that will see [...]
