I moved to Prague several years ago to work for a Silicon Valley superstar company. And I enjoyed it, I really did. I had a great job, reasonable money, perfect people around and really a good portion of freedom in what and when to do. For some reason my direct managers always liked me and so I also had a very good career growth. I left the company from a senior developer position. Not that nobody was wondering why.

All of a sudden some headhunter (I guess through LinkedIn) offered me some position and that made me thinking. I checked also other interesting offers, but I decided for freelancing. Now I have a project where I have more money and I work from home. Perfect. But the most significant parts of my decision was the freedom I was about to have as a freelancer and my old dream of having my own company. To work on my own thing. And yes, also to make the money and be independent.

I always wanted that. As a small boy I was thinking about name and logo for my company. I had no idea what should be the business for it, but I wanted it :-) Now I was making decision to leave a stable job and I felt that freelancing was moving me a little bit closer to my dream.

Of course, things are not that easy, I need to feed my family, pay the house… And that brings me to the important question: ‘What the f*ck was I doing at university and in my first job when I was single, living with my parents and my living costs were close to zero?’ Such a good times for doing startup. Or were they? I calm myself down by saying that I needed to learn things. But for f*cking 8 years?!

Anyway, here I am doing this thing and trying to solve all the problems related to switch from employee to entrepreneur and I will try to document it here.
