If you have to repeatedly chase after someone when you have a great opportunity, don't bother, if they aren't responsive, they aren't the type of person who'll succeed at it anyway.

Your bills don't take the day off.

You'll encounter many obstacles on the road to success, don't allow yourself to be one of them.

You are self employed. You work to pay your bills, build your dreams and create your life, regardless of who signs your paycheck.
