You may be looking to do more with your life. As you walk away from a future you easily foresee toward a more obscure trajectory, there will be times when you will feel lonely, scared, and even impoverished. But as you face your personal innovator’s dilemma, both the probability and magnitudes of success will improve greatly.

a great read for aspiring entrepreneurs/anyone who refuses to take the easy way up.
Wow, this was exactly what I needed to read.

I selfishly miss you already, kavski.
