What do you consider "making it"?
Angostura: I'm not a typical HN reader/user. I'm a one-man consultancy outfit, helping businesses sort out how best to use Internet technologies for internal and external collaboration. I also help untangle knotty workflow problems, you get the picture."Making it", as far as I am concerned is having a steady stream of people coming through my door through personal recommendation with really interesting problems -  enough in fact that I can turn the less interesting ones away to other   people.I get to make money, I get to help people (I know it sounds sappy, but I love it) and I get to think about interesting problems.It doesn't get much better than that for me, it really doesn't.No. I haven't quite "made it" yet, I only started out as an independent a few months ago, but I've had enough of a taste of it to make me a very happy bunny.
