b++ Bring it on!
I have two beautiful boys and the best Mrs in the World. The time has come to start my own business.
Why now?
Tin is now 4 months old and has been diagnosed dystonia. It’s nothing as fatal as it sounds, but we still need to stay focused and keep up with the physical therapy. If we do, everything should be fine by his first birthday.
Apart from being a web enthusiast, I’m also a kinesiologist. While Mrs is a genuine super-mom who handles both of our boys well, I need to help as much as I can to develop Tin’s motor abilities. And who fits better than his own father?
Going freelance will hopefully provide more schedule flexibility, in opposite to company lifestyle, where you’re expected to be available nine to five.
What’s next?
I’m not leaving Adria Media Zagreb completely, though. We managed to find a win-win relationship. I will still collaborate on a new projects to join the company blockbusters Croportal, Roditelji and Story.
If you are from Croatia and find the above sites exciting, check out the 2 new job openings.
I also have an extensive list of faithful clients from all around the globe, which should keep the cash flow steady. If you can see me helping your project, shoot me a message.
Last, but not least, I’d love to finally bring to life some of the ideas that have been laying around for a while. A couple of pro-bono PSDs are also waiting for a chop.
— Bring it on!

Sometimes priorities have to be switched without delay and naturally, the family’s always first.

Thank you all for your support! You’re awesome :)
Everything should be alright — it just takes time and devotion (as with all the truly important things in our lives)
014—2008.11.14.09:06
Congratulations, Marko! As I said to you before, you won’t regret this decision. You’re also doing it for all the right reasons, so well done! :)
I love the redesign, by the way.
015—2008.11.14.09:08
Oops – I’ve just realised this isn’t a redesign; it’s just that I’d never seen your ’single’ page before and it’s significantly different to your home page. :)
016—2008.11.14.09:11
Good luck, I learned from my own experience that the best thing to do is to be positive and then everything will be alright.
017—2008.11.14.13:04
Both thumbs up for the 1st birthday and best of luck with the new heading, sail away! :)
btw. love the detail on the contact page :)

Sincerely good luck to your family and your own business. I’ve worked from home for a half a year but find out that’s impossible with four kids in a house :-)
019—2008.11.14.20:25
Congrats on making the jump, Marko! Tin is lucky to have a dedicated kinesiologist and a super-mom to watch over him. Best wishes to all of you and God bless!

@Karmen: wow with four kids in the house, must be very tough. Respect.
