This Week In Business: Sitting Pretty

It was an exciting week at Breaking Even Communications, mainly because I’m sitting pretty and ergonomically correct now. Three things that happened to my microbusiness this week:

In order to hold myself accountable and entertain you at the same time, here is some of what I did/learned this week:
