Situation: I started a web design business called Tree in a Forest, with a graphics artist as my partner.More References:
Task: I was challenged with making the web sites to the customer’s expectations.
Action: I worked at odd hours and overnights to do http://www.sjmhsa.net over three month’s time, and have worked on several other web sites since.
Result: I had started to achieve profit over cost in my web design business.
