DESCRIPTION

You have an idea for a new software business and the passion to make it succeed. But, there are things still keeping you at your current job. People like you are called Micro Independent Software Vendors or MicroISVs, and they are very successful and happy. In this webinar with Mike Taber, co-founder of the Micropeneur Academy and President of Moon River Software, we'll explore this first infancy stage of your MicroISV and give you a roadmap that you can follow to successfully make the transition from working for someone else, to working for the boss you know you'll love - you.
