All Over the Place!
I’m sure you can tell from the few blog posts I’ve written, I’m still not sure what I want to be when I grow up! You’ve seen posts from me about surveying, writing, and building a cash flow business. So you might be thinking to yourself, “This guy has the attention span of a gnat!”,…

My First Blog Post… Ever!
