Good stuff as always. I’m 41 and waited (not too long) to follow my passion and I’m having the most fun, learning the most, and having the most impact I could have imagined.
In six months:
- I launched a non profit
- I received earned media worth $10 Million
– Front page of USA Today, CNN, CBS, ABC, FOX, NBC, XM, etc..
- I was asked to testify at the US Senate for Sen. Feinstein (D-CA)
- I signed up 4 politicians to take a do not robo call pledge
Amazing and fun.
I particularly agree with your lie:
- Work now and do what I love later.
I know very few people that have done that in their lives. Mortgage, children, career, family, etc.. all take over.

This quote is so true and will have me laughing all day.
As a Fortune 500 CEO once confided: “business really just isn’t rocket science. In fact, to a smart person, it’s kinda boring…” ~ Stever Robbins
I totally agree with your advice to “enjoy the process.” Life is mostly a process and a journey.
Thanks for the handout. Good stuff.
