I'd rather be a poor honest fellow than a rich piece of crap.

I am not going to retire rich; I'm going to be rich by the time I retire.

The only reason some people think finding investors is difficult is because they don't know where to look. Think about this: people with money--millionaires even--are around you every day, whether you recognize them or not. Everybody--even your friend who works at McDonald's--has some sort of paycheck. It may be two hundred dollars or it may be two hundred thousand dollars, but almost everyone has a source of income. The question is: what do they DO with that income?

Something fundraisers (and potential investors alike) often fail to realize: a 'return' does not need to be of a financial nature!
