It was killing me having to fire people with hardly any notice before the holidays and I had a feeling they were just going to keep doing it year after year. I had already had my site Helping Moms Connect up as a "fun" site for about a year. I knew that I could make money online with advertising and figured that if I split the profits with my friends, they would want to shop through my links. I started it on the break between Christmas and New Years. By the time I went to a management conference in February, I knew that it couuld replace my income if I worked hard at it. So I told all of my friends that I would be leaving in the spring. I gave official notice in April and SR became my job as of June 2006.

SG has always been a systems administrator and IT manager. So he works full-time at that but helps me with the programming stuff on evenings and weekends. So he kind of works two jobs.

Next?
