Tell Me About Houston Texas
I just got back from Houston Texas where I spent three days driving around the city, trying to get to know it.  I am at the cross roads of making a business decision on moving out of Greenville, SC to a busier community.  I love living in South Carolina but trying to start a new business in a small community is not easy, unless you are part of the good old boy network.  My clients are all over the United States, but zero in South Carolina because of restrictions in what I do.  I want to get back to that one on one meetings with clients.  That stimulates me more by working with clients face to face.  Zoom is great for business, but that one on one experience is so important in dealing with clients.  So I am at the decission process of making a move.  If you live in Houston, let me know how you like it and your business experience there.
