Dear [Recipients Name],

I was very pleased that you decided to ask for my opinion about your future career path.
You have obviously given a lot of thought to the matter and would first advise that it is
important to look into all of the advantages and disadvantages of any decision.

You know what your main goal is, to run your own software design business, which is a
good place to start. So now it is important to get the skills needed to make a business
successful. You will have to acquire expertise or business marketing and finance skills.
So far it appears that that you are learning both areas, I would suggest a more directive
form of learning to concentrate on technical skills or business skills. If either area is
particularly appealing to you, then this would probably be the way to go. Please let me
know if this advice has been of any help.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,
Ewa Gobcewicz
