Buying my 6,400sq ft bulding and turning half of it into my center.

What was your biggest mistake?

My 1st year of practice trusting others would do their job as hired and because I did not understand some of the billing aspect to double check the work. A costly error but a valuable one. I know every part of my business.

Going into business for myself.
