3 years ago I was a technopreneur cowboy. Now I’m a corporate lieutenant.
Rugged experiences can get you places – in my case a comfortable yet challenging managerial position backed by some small consulting sidelines. The result? Some decent income (closing the six-digit mark), some toys (a macbook air, an ipod touch), some security (almost finished condo unit) and a wealth of knowledge.
I’d like to say it was easy. It wasn’t. I’d prefer to say “It’s fun. Challenging but fun.”
You seen one thing I’ve learned is that instead of playing MMORPGs and other online games, people should play the real world. Play the rat race.
Put the gaming mindset in how you live your life. In games you can SAVE and START over. In the real world, you can’t. BUT… it’s the risk you just have to take if you really want to learn. Jump at acceptable risks.
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
Next year I hope (pray) to go to Europe for a vacation and maybe get my own car – maybe a Fortuner.
It starts with some visualization. Then I imagine how I’ll play the real life game to get want I want.
You want to get somewhere? Risk a little and play the rat race my friend.
