Yesterday was just a day, you know? Nothing huge happened, but it was good. It’s easy to overlook “good” days in search of elusive awesome days, so in an effort to do that, I’ll tell you about the good. I met with a print shop owner in the morning, and after looking at paper options…
The Unfun Side of Starting a Business
I’m still a long way from “opening up shop,” so to speak. I’m painting and finding out about printers in the area who might be a good fit for my painting reproduction needs.
