I’m an ideas person. It’s the reason why I was able to get to this stage where I’m working for myself. I’m the kind of person that – if my mind isn’t occupied by something I’m currently working on – I’ll be searching for the next thing to do.
Over the years I’ve gone through so many ideas. Some of them worked but absolutely loads of them didn’t. I just want to spend a little bit of time going through the many many things that I have in a cobweb-filled folder on my computer of the things that either failed or just didn’t ever come to be.
I won’t share the names of them just in case I ever decide to go back to them, but you should understand each from the mini descriptions.

There must be even more, but I can’t think of them right now. Just writing them out shows me just how many different directions I could have gone in over the past 10 years or so. On top of those have been a few adult ones that I’m absolutely thrilled I didn’t spend time exploring, because it’s full of ways too many distractions that I’m thankful I was able to completely avoid.
Expect that this list will be added to in the future as I never stop with them and I’ve started coming up with so many more since I’ve been working for myself. Now that I know that I can afford my own salary and I’ve got a bit of excess, I should really try to put that excess to work and develop something brand new.
