I spent one year as a full-time software developer. I quit property management to enter tech.
My timeline:

- April 2025: Landed first paid project.
- June 2025: Started full-time as a Frontend Developer.
- January 2026: Launched IbomTax. It processed 17.76 billion in revenue.
Here are 5 lessons:
People bring opportunities. I am an introvert. I liked being alone. One friend referred me to my first gig and my job. Lesson: Build high-value relationships.
Work consumes time. I focused only on work. I stopped personal study. I felt behind. Lesson: Plan your growth. Schedule time for your skills.
Comfort kills growth. A steady salary made me lazy. I lost my drive. Lesson: Never get comfortable. Seek the next battle.
Track your progress. I keep a daily journal. I track goals and money. I fail when I stop writing. Lesson: Use a diary to stay productive.
Health is a priority. I skip meals and sleep. I get headaches. I feel tired. Lesson: Avoid working on an empty tank. Sleep and eat.
Hard work brings profit. I aim to become a tech entrepreneur.
