Last Day of Work Thoughts
So, I’ve still got my coffeeateleven.com domain up for sale. I hope it sells. Its value is at $1247 and even if I get a portion of that, it will towards incorporating my new company. I think I’ll make a video promoting the idea for a coffee shop called Coffee At Eleven, but really it could b…
