Being a father gave me the energy to take the step
Hi! Alberto here
Soo it turns out that I'm a father of a 6 months old baby.
I wanted to make my own products since forever but never did it because you know...life, money, time...but this has made me realize that I don't want to be in an office 40 - 50 hours a week working for other people.
Here I am! I'm an indie hacker and freelance developer now. I just launched my first MVP, a product dicovery site in spanish , got my first freelance contract and I'm happier than ever.
Feels good to be part of the community!

Same here. Having a child was extra motivation for me to make a living as an indie hacker, on my own time and pace
Congratulations man! That is an inspiring move!
Thanks!
Good for you man, congratulations! How is it going with combining the two worlds?
Thanks! I set a limit to my freelance work of 5 hours/day and the 2-3 hours left are for my projects (and then the baby 😅)
Hehe, looks like you got your priorities straight :)
Congratulations on becoming a parent! It sure brings perspective :) Glad that you're creating the life you want to live.
Thanks! At least I’ll try
You are welcome @Albertobeiz. Congrats on taking the leap
Thanks!
Congrats on taking the step! My son gave me the motivation to do a similar jump 🙂
Thanks! It’s the best motivation
Congrats Alberto!
Thanks @zachazar!
Felicidades Alberto! ;)
How did you get that first freelance contract?
Thanks! Through linkedin & a friend recommendation
