Move Along

“Move along, move along…” — Stormtrooper, Mos Eisley, Star Wars Episode IV

Move Along is a personal relocation + small-business launch project. The goal is to move from Albany, New York to a more business-friendly southern state while launching ELF (Elfish Log Factory) as an open-source software business with paid setup, hosting, maintenance, and consulting.

This week (momentum builders):

1. Put the one-page website online (even if it’s basic)
2. Send 20 outreach emails to potential pilot stations
3. Book 1–2 discovery calls
4. Identify top 2 relocation cities for a scouting trip

• ELF is open-source. Revenue comes from setup, hosting, support, and consulting.
• The clean path is: validate demand → land pilot(s) → standardize onboarding → expand recurring revenue.
