Great topic, Ben. I'm surprised to not see about 10 pages to this topic already!
I had a goal, for 2017, to move onto another situation. Don't get me wrong, my current job is OK, but it lacks challenge and other things. Getting a new position didn't pan out. So 2018 I've decided to try and start a small software development business on the side. Something I can do a few evenings each week and on the weekends. I've been challenged to come up with goal as to what sort of software I'll work on. Towards that end, I'd welcome any input I can get from people here.

Hi Rod,
It does surprise me sometimes which topics people resonate with and others they just don't. As far as your side business, how are your web skills? A good way to make some money is some sort of SAS (Software As a Service) website. The users pay a monthly fee to use your website. Not sure what that website should do. At a previous job we had SAS website that was taking in $10,000 plus a month. Of course, the problem is always figuring out a system people need and will pay for. Best of luck with all your endeavors in 2018!
