[Captain Ahab Jr]

10yrs this Oct since I decided to set up my own business as a freelance motorsport design engineer

Didn't do it to make more money but did it to chase interesting, difficult, challenging projects

Must be doing something right, never had to look for work, only ever had more work opportunities than have time for

My business doesn't have a web site, I don't advertise, don't even have a work email address or work phone

Only a LinkedIn profile that is never kept up to date ie which team/companies I'm currently helping until after I've finished. Reason being, I've brought in to do a job my client can't do, no one needs to know this and I don't need to use their name to help find my next job

Race teams/companies that need my help, know of me or worked with me before or I've been asked back as my client needs my help again or head hunted me

Normally my contracts start as a year minimum but all have been extended and I'm fully booked up at least a year in advance, with clients waiting for my availability

Money has come but more important to me is I've worked on some very cool projects and helped all of my clients win a race and even multiple European or world championships

Should be slowing down my work commitments but later this year I'll have two completely different world championship motorsport projects on the go that are so interesting I couldn't say no
