Picture this


It's 6 o'clock on Monday morning. You are not really looking forward to another grueling week at work. Another five days of office politics. Another small chunk of your life dedicated to making somebody else rich—giving somebody else's family the finer things in life, while somebody else decides what you are worth by the hour!

And then you remember you don't do that anymore. You started your own online business about six months ago and handed in your notice last Friday. You go downstairs and make a coffee. It smells good. You sit in your favorite chair and switch on your laptop. You check your e-mails.

You see you have made some more sales overnight. You log in to your PrestaShop control panel and all of the payments have been confirmed. You process the orders. You check the news headlines as you sip your coffee. You shut down your laptop. You ponder your next big idea. The day is your own while PrestaShop works slavishly. What will you do and where will you go?
