A good few years of income, both of the really successful ones kind of puddled out slowly over time, as a lot of things do. I have a few close people I've known for years that I trust.

But what I've been focussed in on like a laser the last last month now, none of them can help with as it's a small programming glitch in a software solution for adult. I've put 2 things together that nobody has thought of, and a little bit of code is getting in the way of them working perfectly together, creating the final solution. Fully open source license, all clear. The bit of code I need made, or will create myself, will not be open source.

I'm afraid that if I get a freelancer they will put 2 & 2 together and run with it. My biggest struggle right now is trusting others.

The second struggle I'm seeing ahead, is implementing it in such a way that it gains traction before being copied by others that clearly don't have the best interest of our industry / community at heart. I'm not that guy that has those connections. While it will make a ton of money and turn things around for many people, and I have the enthusiastic support of my biller (NDA), I want it to go right and fly into what it's meant to be, not being stifled by my lack of connections.

Aside from that life is great and Happy 4th of July everybody !! :-D
