Over the weekend I released a bonus
episode of the Tom Woods Show that featured David Longdon, lead vocalist for a little-known band called Big Big Train.
That they are little known is one of the great outrages of the modern world.
They are astonishingly good.
So I asked him:
You are making some of the best music I have ever heard. Yet most people listen to mediocre three-minute crap on the radio. Does that ever bother you?
His immediate answer: "No, because there's nothing I can do about it.... I don't feel like I'm owed a living, by any particular right or claim on it."
Wow.
Somehow he is more at peace with the situation than I am!
I could riff on his brilliant answer all day, but for now a short lesson:
People who do think they're owed a living make lousy entrepreneurs.
Instead of grabbing opportunities, they sit around waiting for things to happen to them, for things to be given to them.
Meanwhile, people with ambition pass them by.
Well, I've got a neat program for you to grab.
At midnight tonight, the Rachel Rofe print-on-demand training program, which has been such a boon to Tom Woods Show listeners, closes its doors.
If you've watched the video, you understand how people make a living with print on demand.
It can be a nice way to make some extra dough, though if you really commit yourself it can even become your full-time gig. It is what you make of it.
Be a part of it:
