    Words are cheap - I have a plan and work on it, stage by stage, so far things go pretty well and next year they will go a lot better.

    WRONG!

    The sort of customer you need will not be impressed by a 'cost competitive' (i.e. cheap) one-man band.

    Set up some kind of organisation and get capital funding.

    Products, no matter how good or cheap - do not sell themselves.

    You need marketing and business skills.

    But of course you're too arrogant to listen to any advice.

    Aim for the stars and you might hit the rooftops.

    Aim for the rooftops and you'll probably end up in the gutter.

    How much do you need to turn-over / profit before you break even?
