Crap. Not that I want to perpetuate stereotypes…but…I just checked all the boxes for the “Millennial starter kit”

Does WordPress have an internal function that throws a PHP error from a wp_error object? Or is this the best way: trigger_error($error->get_error_message());

I have modeled exclusively with Solidworks since 2004, and man, Fusion 360 has me thoroughly converted.

Today marks my one year anniversary as a business owner. Here’s the biggest things I’ve learned:
- Business ownership is hard. I’ve been more stressed this past year than I have ever been in my entire life.
- Outsourcing business tasks best left to someone else is a step toward business growth, but it’s easy to understate how hard that is.
- Business ownership has meant more effort for less money, even though I charge 4 times as much as my hourly rate where I worked before.
- Getting insurance when you’re self-employed is extremely difficult. Especially when $800/month is downright impossible.
- Having no answer for “how much do you earn each year?” Is troublesome. Banks don’t like “I don’t know…probably this much?”
- Hunger is a valuable asset to get you to kick your ass in gear, but it’s a fine line. Too much invites emotion in rational places.
- I hate how much my business has taken control over my mind. I think about it constantly, and it’s difficult to make it stop sometimes.
- Disc golf at 10:00 AM is amazing, when I get to go.
- I miss the mindless office banter a lot more than I thought I would.
- Despite the (many) complaints above, being a business owner has been one of the greatest things I have ever done for myself. I love it

FINALLY going through @rebeccagill’s wonderfully detailed course on SEO. Better late than never, I suppose! @rebeccagill I’m ramping up to do an audit of @fillyourtaproom’s blog content as we have a decent amount published at this point.
