∞ Marco's Definition of Success

Published under Mango Paper, Feb 16, 2015

After the self-employment penalties in taxes and benefits, I’m probably coming in under what I could get at a good full-time job in the city, but I don’t have to actually work for someone else on something I don’t care about. I can work in my nice home office, drink my fussy coffee, take a nap after lunch if I want to, and be present for my family as my kid grows up. That’s my definition of success.

Probably lots of indies share this same definition of success, though some started from an overnight multi-million dollar dream.
