    I don't think many folks are going to be forthcoming about their plan B's.

    They have found a niche, and they are exploiting it and making hay whilst the sun shines.

    They'd be cutting their nose off to spite their face by publicly (or even privately) announcing it, just so someone can go "Ooooh...that's a good idea" and then nick it...

    I did have a plan B, but have abandoned it, since it became obvious to me that I can either have 6-7 hours a night playing Warcraft, or 6-7 hours working in the evenings, all for an extra 3K a month.

    I decided that the extra money wasn't worth the sacrifice of my time.
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

      Was there not a break-even point some time in the future whereby the extra 3k a month would have allowed you to play warcraft 24/7 until the end of your days?

                My Plan B involves a software product that sells at a slow steady rate. I work at it to try and improve it and hope that pays off in the long run, but it won't stop if I take a week off.

                I agree with whoever said that above - you need something that you don't need to work at to make money. The fundamental problem with contracting (or driving instructing) is that the money stops when you do.
                Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                  WHS I (stupidly) asked this question a while back - thinking about it, if anyone had a red hot plan B, they wouldn't mention it on here.

                  I am reading a book called the Naked Trader by a bloke who claims it is possible to make a living from share trading without working too hard. My other plan B is the Lottery. HTH
