    Austin code's an App in 10 days.

A lot has changed. My old business was not Fastlane. It was draining the...

    NOTABLE! 
    I don't know if I'm looking for help or just seeing if anyone else deals with this... When I first started my business I'd take on any work. I'd slash my prices, I needed money, I was desperate. I never had this problem before but this past week I've already had two people wanting 25% less...
