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.

I totally agree with your advice to “enjoy the process.” Life is mostly a process and a journey.

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.

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.
