Patience and passion: Getting ready for ‘go time’

I’m officially on “the countdown” with my day job at The News Tribune. If I work through September part-time (as is the current plan) then I have something like 12 days left at the paper after this week.

So this decision to branch out on my own is getting very real. Which makes me excited and a bit anxious. Meaning I love running across great inspiration from one of my favorite bloggers as I did yesterday …

The alternative is to do your best to pick a direction … and then do it. Loudly. With patience and passion. (Loud doesn’t mean boorish. Loud means proud and joyful and with confidence.)

No flitting, no waiting for proof. Just consistent, overwhelming performance in pursuit of a vision you believe in. That’s far more important than which direction you chose in the first place.

Thanks, Mr. Godin, for summing up my new goals so succintly.
