Another question phrased differently is: It seems like you have a lot going on – so what exactly have you built, and how does it all fit together? Great question :) Ever since I started the blog, I wanted to have my own business. I was broke and in my parent's basement and had no hope to actually know what that means, but over the last 6 years, I somehow ended up with ...
