Update: Make that 1500 reasons! 
Well, here we are! It’s been three weeks since my quasi-silent launch on 5th of May and I’m already on profit. Since last week the sales started to go well and last night I just passed my first $1000.
This may not be much, but it is an important milestone for me, made by the 11th license sold. In these 3 weeks I had some expenses that I just had to do, like software licenses, the Flex HTML component used for the YouTube player in the viewer and so on. The total amount, including the legal set-up taxes for my microISV, is somewhere around half of the amount, which basically sets me on profit. The moment I picked up to quit my daily job (about 1 month and half ago) isn’t the best one for the Romanian economy and software job market. But I just had to do it! I’ve put lots of energy in this project and I’m determined to put the best of me to make sure it is successful.
There are several reasons that make me confident to continue with this project and, actually, have no reasons whatsoever to think about something else. The first would be the amount of positive feedback received since the launch 3 weeks ago: emails, feature requests, reviews, a grand prize at a online projects contest. One could not think these are not sufficient reasons to continue. And, of course, the revenue made so far which is pretty satisfying for me at my first attempt of entrepreneurship.
There are lots of things that I need to do in the following weeks, lots of features to implement that will certainly keep me quite busy. Nevertheless, all these excite me enough to work hard and passionately every day. Building my own product and getting in touch directly with clients that use it successfully in their every day job, now this is a dream come true for me. What could a passionate software developer ask more from his proffessional life?
Unknown, here I come!
