Apps for clients and for yourself. Build apps for clients while you build your own.

Client work pays the wages and your own app is the lottery ticket, and the trick is never letting the second eat the first. The app stores take 30% of everything you sell through them (15% for small developers) and they decide whether your update ships at all. Every app you launch also has to be maintained through two operating system releases a year, which clients rarely budget for.
