Thanks, man! I’ll have to check that out. I like 4HWW, but I’m not so crazy about how he portrays the business side of things. Always interested in the “freedom” part though (who isn’t?!)

Thanks for the link-love JD.

I’m simply thankful that those who have come before us have solved most of life’s quirks giving us the opportunity to follow through with what we care about.

And, if you can find a copy, read the book “How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World.” It’s very similar to 4HWW in ideas, but was written in 1973. Plus it’s less focused on building a business and more about personal beliefs you can change to find freedom.

No, I'm right there with you. I was surprised not only that it looks like it was him, but that he doesn't seem to do that too often. I'm only just learning about the Wordpress world, but it's really an amazing platform that is one of the ones changing the face of the internet and the business world in many ways.

I am thankful for you, J.D. I am so glad that we've somehow connected in this wild whirlwind of technology. You are a great friend and a tremendous inspiration!

Crush It is great but I think if you've ever watched any of his keynotes, you'd have gotten the same message a hundred times more effectively. I'm not completely finished with the book, but so far I think you could probably find most of the information elsewhere and for free.

I was thrilled to see that Matt stopped by, and not only that, but he left a comment! I guess being excited about that really shows the extent of my geekdom.

Things 1-4 would all definitely be on my list as well. Haven't read Crush It yet but planning on it soon. I feel so fortunate to be living in this certain point in time. The opportunities have never been greater, especially for people who think unconventionally. Great post, hope you had a great Thanksgiving! My recent post challenge everything

We live in good times. There is no reason to be hating life right now. There are far too many opportunities to thrive.

That's pretty cool that Matt stopped by!
