When it comes to any business, one thing will always be true. You are your biggest investment. The time and money you put into yourself is directly reflective of how seriously YOU take YOU and that usually dictates how seriously other people will take you. The truth is, technology is evolving so fast that what used to cost thousands of dollars can now be done for a little over a hundred bucks. So, there is no reason for anyone to claim to be a model and not have comp cards and photos, with tools like digital cameras and Photoshop so easily accessible. There is no reason for a manager, promoter, or producer not to have business cards when you can easily get 1,000 printed Full Color and Double Sided for just $35 (www.NeedCDsNow.com).
How can you call yourself a rapper and not have a single song recorded when there are so many programs that will let you turn your home computer into a virtual studio. When you approach a company or potential client that may be interested in your talents or services, how seriously do you expect to be taken when you don’t even have the basic necessities for conducting day to day business in your given field.
