Do you know the difference?
California
For Meursing, its a Golden State of mind.
California dreaming can end up being California earning, if you know how to work it correctly.
Lets start our journey in California, where I built Premier Staff from the ground up, began Meursing.
Now, I know what youre thinking Daniel, isnt California notorious for high taxes and cost of living?
And youre not wrong.
One day, youre staffing a Ferrari launch event, the next youre coordinating logistics for a Netflix premiere.
I remember the day we landedour first big Hollywood contract, Meursing recalled.
We were tasked with staffing the Oscars after-party-talk about a make-or-break moment!
A place where dreams arecurrency and networkingis the exchange rate.
Texas
Or, in Meursings terminology: The Lone Star State of Opportunity.
Thats due to two words: business friendly.
The lack of state income tax in Texas is like music to any entrepreneurs ears.
But according to Meursing, its not just about the tax benefits.
Texas has a diverse economy thats not tied to any one single industry.
The energy there was palpable you could practically feel the entrepreneurial spirit in the air.
The Empire State is the perfect example of a multi-opportunistic state to go from bust to boom.
According to Meursing, the diversity of industries in New York is staggering.
And lets not forget the networking potential, said Meursing.
… Its like trying to drink from a fire hose of opportunities.
But if you might make it here, well, you know the rest.
New York taught me valuable lessons about scaling a business, remarked Meursing.
It was like playing 3D chess while riding a unicycle challenging, but exhilarating.
New York, I often say, is where you go to test your mettle.
Florida is like that friend whos always reinventing themselves always exciting, always full of surprises.
I just saw a stat that Florida was in the top three states with new businesses.
I believe it, Christensen added.
It very much reminds me of thetech startup culturein California of the 1990s.
Weve realized a total savings of 20% per year just by relocating here.
And weve convinced other Cali tech friends to move, including another startup CEO and IBM VP.
Meursing said the … lack ofstate income taxis a big draw, much like in Texas.
Its like a magnet for opportunity.
