Money means people value your things and you're on the right track. Get money. ASAP. Especially in your first business. Money means you can sell, money means you can get loans, money means the business banker takes you seriously, money means they break the rules and wipe off charges for you (or give you telephone wire-transfer access before you're qualified, which you need to pay people when you're outside the USA traveling, and trying to get money from some people in Berlin). Money means you get lines of credit, or net-30 terms instead of paid up front. Money means later, you can pay people to do the most horrible aspects of your business once you've fully mastered them. Money means you're doing something of value.Mate - stop designing your logo and color scheme, and get some money. It's the only way.
