How to get more freedom ?? Living my dreams??
The longer I think about it and talk about it, I find myself thinking on how to get more freedom.
Having worked my ass off the last couple of 17 years ( i am 34 :-)) I want to have some more time..
I always invested a lot in myself and always tried to be not The Best but I want to be in its shadow. I guess I have managed this quite well in the various jobs I've had.. :-)
In the desperate mission to get more time for myself and the family I thought I should give up my job and start for myself.. A big step in these days.. ( this was October 2003) and since 1-1-2004 I am independent.
Now I live in the Netherlands and find myself working even more hours then ever .. easy going through the 12 hours a day for 7 days a week.. This is completely crazy.. Now how to go to France and start a new line of business ??? I want more freedom and a more relaxed environment (this is hard to find in the Netherlands:-))
First I need a job as .Net developer in France or Spain to get started in learning the culture and knowing the regulations :-)
Anyone interested and having an opening for a MCSD developer with 3 years experience in C# and 10 years in total at programming software.. I don't speak any french or spanish but my english is ok to get by..
Big projects I've worked on (solo in the development of these projects and most of them were from scratch).

I guess I have done enough to prove my skills :-)
Anyone in need???.. Wherever in the world if it is not on a hectic environment and if the relocate my family too is also possible (I want to do some paragliding there too so a bit of mountains is preferred but where in the world -- I can build my home everywhere as I am not attached to anything here in the Netherlands :-) (this is for Serious)
Starting a camping or running a pension is a later option :-)
A dream is there to help you reminding you .. and needs to be pursued (I do my best !!!)
