Just got a call from a new client that will sign the contract tomorrow. That is a $15K raise to me in 2017 and $30 in 2018! There are days that owning your own business really sucks, like the Christmas season which is terrible. But the whole residual piece that I don't have to share is a major win. My company just became worth a $1M buyout with this contract. Five years of blood, sweat and tears to get to the next level.

Thanks for all the advice from CB over the years on a very strange career move.
