Today is the third anniversary of quitting my job at Google to build my own software business. I posted updates at the end of my first and second years, so it’s time to share my progress.

The year things clicked into place

In my first two years working for myself, I earned less than $10k total. My goal for the third year was to earn $20k in revenue.

Halfway through the year, it looked like I’d fall short. My businesses collectively generated about $300/month, and none of my new ideas were working.
