On hiatus and working on commissions. Attacking debt and working on accumilating wealth. Light at the end of the tunnel on my project.

THE SIMPSONS NEWS
Well, I’m on my first week on hiatus. I’ve been spending a lot of time with the kids and doing a few commissions on the side. Next week will be my last week of hiatus and then, back to work. I’m enjoying my time off.
BUSINESS
My sister sent me a book for my Kindle App called: SECRETS OF THE MILLIONAIRE MIND by T. Harv Eker. The book really opened my mind to the way I think about money and wealth.
A friend of mine at work who has his own business on the side has this same mindset and he’s doing really well financially.
Reading the book has really made me interested in business, of all things.
In order to start putting the principles of the book into practice, I got a copy of Dave Ramsey’s THE TOTAL MONEY MAKEOVER. We’ve begun putting the methods in the book, into practice. We plan to be mostly out of debt by the end of the year which will allow us to start truly making our own money.
I’m planning on making money off my art, comics and cartoons. To do this I need to get out of debt and start pursuing money making strategies that work. This includes, investing any surplus money, which I’ve only done a little bit.
So, not only am I educating myself on story and drawing. Not only am I researching the genre that my webcomic will fit in, but now, I’m learning business and money management. And for the first time ever, I find that prospect exciting.
ART
Man, compared to page 7, page 8 was a breeze to thumbnail:
I’ll be done in no time now. Hopefully, by the time I get back to work, I’ll be ready to start boarding.
