Hi Jake, I agree what have been discussed in all the comments above, a lot of common sense and many things I've been experiencing and thinking myself (except I'm not self-employed but I'm working in a end-users company). I will not repeat what was written but just share one thought.
I tend to think that being master in a niche is better than being average in a commodities market. I'm convinced that someone like you who has proven so many qualities and strength in whatever you do could still make money in Lotus Domino market. But to do this you would probably have to extend your geographical area to whole Europe and maybe beyond and it would be necessary to sharpen your skills in the most advanced areas, like x-page. I've been following your site for many years. In the early years you were in the top innovators. Then I saw you engaged in .Net and Flex and it seems you were not as interested as before in Notes/Domino technology. Or maybe it reflected your contracts at the time. Do you think that at a certain time you lost your focus on Domino and this could explain the reduction of your customers coverage in this area ?
