[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 43224, member: 441"] Re: Getting the gig. Where did it all start? From what I have read online it's not necessarily a correct comparison to put the original big companies like Clair and Showco up against todays newcomers as they developed the technology and the market as they grew. It's kinda like saying "NASA started on the ground". Well, no shit, Sherlock, they were invented to put stuff in space :lol:. I think there is certain merit to TimD's claim that if you want to swoop in and take a whole regional marked by storm - and end up touring with one of the top 10 mega names in the entertainment business you'll need something nobody else has (like the Clair Bros etc had to offer back when they started). I have a feeling that these two things are cutting edge technology that nobody else have developed in the same fashion, and amazing brains. Both can be aquired for money - a lot of money. Edit: That said. It would be hard to get investors to put that much cash into something with that uncertain an outcome. They would rather invest in a factory in China or something. So it comes down to the old "one step at the time, with lot's of passion and careful investment - and you'll do just fine. Not spectacular, but you'll do fine and have a lot of fun doing it!". PS: TimD. Reading your posts I think you have been severely burned by someone running bigger companies than you. Don't let this skew your analasys of the business - just a few states away or right accross the border to another country the marked may look completely different to where you are now. [/QUOTE]
