Guerrilla Capitalism: Getting Ahead without a Tie
Hello, and welcome to how I've chosen to completely change my life.
I used to work a real job once. Long hours, bad pay, yada yada yada. It didn't take me long to realize that this sort of thing was all I had to look forward to if I didn't break out. I had to stop being a victim of capitalism and instead be empowered by it.
A friend told me there were two ways of getting rich: one, being a salesman; two, starting your own business. I had no more interest in wearing ties, and that just left me becoming an entrepreneur.
But what was I going to do?
Well, I knew I wanted to wargame and paint minis - so I started there. After a year of research, I started my business. With your help, let's see how far I get.
