Ignore everyone - Being Poor sucks

Gaping Void is funny cartoonist 'on the back of business cards'. Besides drawing and writing he also gives ideas to creative people on how they have to make money out of their talent. To that goal he started with summing up some do's and don't's. I liked some of them, which I withheld here for you. Read all of them here

4. If your biz plan depends on you suddenly being "discovered" by some big shot, your plan will probably fail.

5. You are responsible for your own experience.
