no it isnt like work at all. its very much like founding a startup (i did that and failed, because of poor personal life decisions). i have a vision and i am executing on it.

what i have going for me are the next to zero operating cost and the fact i am hardworking and i learn fast.

however this is not my only iron in the fire, i am starting a small web development consultancy and seeing if that takes. and im also framing houses right now. its all about acquiring the skills i need to make this work. even if that means im not making very much yet.

its an entire shift in lifestyle. different problems and challenges than you get in the city. throwing money at the problem isnt always the optimal solution here (for me), its much better to be able to do stuff yourself. then you dont have to make as much because you dont have to pay anyone to do anything for you. i can fix or build just about anything. eventually.

if i keep my overhead down, its all profit.
