Moved to Scottsdale, Growing a Web Design Firm
GOLD!It was definitely a shock the first day it was almost 110 but I think I’m getting used to it! No more hiking but the AC in my apartment is great and most of my outdoor activities have been at night (joined a night sand volleyball league). Curious to see what 120 feels like now haha.- GuitarManDan

Moved to Scottsdale, Growing a Web Design Firm
GOLD!That's exactly what I was thinking too! So the #1 priority was overdelivering for this client and giving him a great customer experience. After working like crazy for the past week, I sent over the comedian the first full draft of the site and just got this feedback and I couldn't be happier...- GuitarManDan

From a business perspective, this week I'm working on setting up an LLC (seems like electing to be taxed as an S-corp is my best bet). Just set up...- GuitarManDan
