Welcome, you have found the Thatch Mound Blog, where you can watch one person’s tale of self-employment unfold in real time. The name “Thatch Mound” is inspired by the type of anthill built by a variety of ants known as “thatching ants,” such as formica obscuripes, a red-headed ant which is common in Washington State.

The concept of Thatch Mound is to build a successful company by combining moderate income streams from lots of little projects into a source of income large enough to replace my former full-time job, in the same way that many ants come together to build something much greater than themselves—the thatch mound.

This is a place where anyone interested in self-employment can get an inside peek, and with the Thatch Mound Forums, you can join in the discussion as well.  Continuing with the thatch mound analogy, all the users of this site can come together to make the forums a great resource for budding entrepreneurs.

Enjoy your stay here at Thatch Mound, I hope you find the content here to be interesting, insightful, and informative.  Please contact me if you have any questions or suggestions regarding the site.
