I also got tired of lying - them: "whaddya think?" me: "Oh that's great!"
If you're in this business for the money, find a new business.
OTOH, I don't mind helping somebody who might not have all the skills, as long as they don't bring the attitude. But then again, I'm old and bitter. |
What I meant by that was that the people with big bucks and big connections have sent me many other clients. Some of them actually had talent...
IOW, don't piss off people with lots of money and power. Maybe that's what I should've said...
By the way, I love what I do but the only way to make a living out of this is to make money. I have 2 kids and many bills...it is entirely possible as with any endeavor, to really love what you do and still try to make as much as you can with it. I don't feel bad about this...
We don't have to be poor to love what we do...
