I had an interesting conversation with David last week. I asked him, "So, how do you view your life in the next few years? Say, two, three, five, ten years from now?"

His face lit up, and he immediately replied, "Well. I figure that if I can do five gigs a week ~ not that I could really get five a week, but IF I did ~ I could make $60,000 a year. Then (as he indicated the kitchen table spread with computers) I could have my own business doing web design or something like that and earn even more. If I have my own business, then I could take time whenever I want to do gigs."

It looks like he has a life plan in place...
