Be the best you can and just like your customers, spend your money wisely.

How much money in tools and materials does it take to make 40 grand clear, per year and work maybe 20 hours weekly?

Does one have to use up all ones credit, time and pocket money just to show their neighbors how well they are doing?

I heard status defined once as buying stuff you don't need with money you don't have to impress people you don't like...

Doesn't matter if you buy $500 worth of paint & brushes, or $5,000 worth of computer design & printing technology. Once you are counting up how much you "CLEAR", your investment is paid for.

heck, you can do it with ZERO tools and ZERO inventory -- just be a good salesperson, buy from good supplies, and mark it all up.

(that accounts for about 10% of my income - Gemini Letters, edge prints, and other outsourced items -- but it COULD be 100% if i wanted to go that route.).
