When offered the chance to donate to the Acumen Fund in exchange for getting an advanced copy of Seth Godin’s book, Linchpin, I jumped at the chance.
In true practice-what-you-preach form, Godin sent several emails after my donation letting me know about the status of my book shipment. When I received the book, there was a letter from Godin included which shocked me by starting with, “The scariest words an author can write are, ‘here’s my new book.” I thought, Seth Godin…scared? Cool.
And herein lies the beauty of blogging or journaling. An opportunity to capture a moment in time and look back upon it at some point in the future and say, “Look how far I’ve come.”
So you’re thinking about going it alone and starting your own business. Perhaps it’s something you’ve always dreamed of doing. Perhaps it’s a hobby on the side begging to take center stage. Perhaps it’s a brand new venture. First, and most importantly…good for you! It’s easy to be lulled into complacency by the familiar. If you’re reading this letter, my suspicion is that you’re the type of person who refuses to incorporate “common”, “good enough” or “average” into your vernacular. Greetings, kindred spirit.
