It's SUBURBAN. It's the same hair cut that the mall sunglass kiosk operator has. Get a better haircut, and you're in the money. That shirt? It's also crap. Stop shopping at TJ Maxx. It's cheap - you should have a better shirt than the guy in front of you. I'm telling you the truth. It hurts. But there's a solution. Get a haircut, and spend more that 50.00 on your shirt.

This guy is 25 years old and it took him 25 years to design this cadillac of business cards. People, he was three years into this project by the time he hit kindergarten. You just can't compete with dedication like that, and that's why his business card is more super awesome than yours will ever be. 'Don't let not having the tools be your trepidation.'

All these years, and MY asshole has never drawn a crowd or had a $4 card. "Life isn't about being liked," he says. Actually, I've found that being liked is a very important part of life. Being liked feels good, don't you think? When people like you, they're also more willing to work with you. Working with you means both of you getting results. Getting results, finally, means getting paid. He has "desperate salesman" written all over his face. That's not a good thing to see. I feel like I got gypped.
