The Internet is a strange place
A motivational speech
What kind of work would I do if I had to do it forever?
First, you have to be an effective problem solver. For the first couple of years my motivation was off the charts. We’ve grown to subconsciously measure a person’s worth based off how many hours they work, how much is on their plate and put simply — whether or not they are running around like a chicken with their head cut off.
It was a time where I had a lot of independence in choosing how to work and what to work on. One comes from the outside in the form of a carrot or a stick.
Understanding the problem may seem obvious, but the obvious is easily overlooked.
I’m going all in on independence, and I’m going to try to make a living with my own bare hands starting from nothing.
I thought that in order to be successful, I had to constantly be building, working, growing and developing the next thing — whatever that “thing” was.
