I think the fact that I found this post three years after it was written and that up until now it’s had 293 comments, says a lot about how good it is.

Now do some work!

Inspirational piece. Its the perfect work life balance that we constantly strive for, read about, attend work shops out but never really work out of the box enough to live a balanced life.

“If you go out and interview 10 entrepreneurs, I guarantee that almost every single one will say that they got teased as a kid, they were different, etc. And where are the kids who teased me? I’ve got no idea – but I’d be willing to bet they’re in a cubicle somewhere. And again, that’s cool – if they’re happy.”

The old joke is that later in life the A students all get jobs working for the C students.

My take on it is, if you are being teased and criticized it just means that you are doing something special and extraordinary and making a bigger effort than average.

So … Smile and carry on. Shrug it off and enjoy your life. Keep up the good work.

I’m also not a content shift-person, even though I work a job, I’d rather much be pounding out 16 hour days on my gig. As soon as my own gig crashflow positive and providing me with enough to replace my income, I’m going to move on.

Your post inspires me to grab a laptop and travel, see the world, and get tons of work done.

Although, I manage to make as much money as someone with a degree(two jobs + I work twice as many hours as everyone) I feel I was always meant to be a total and complete entrepreneur, be it acting, music, online business, or what ever else can be considered entrepeneurial. And I’ve found that I’m really passionate about building online services and writing. The two seem to make me tick.

Thanks for inspiring me to work even harder and take up traveling(even though that was probably not the idea of your post, more of an example of what works for you personally.)

I’ve been self-employed most of my life. One business I owned a while ago gave me the opportunity to talk to entrepreneurs all day long. I learned that what you said here (quoted below) is absolutely true. They all told me much the same thing:

The old joke is that later in life the A students all get jobs working for the C students.

My take on it is, if you are being teased and criticized it just means that you are doing something special and extraordinary and making a bigger effort than average.

Thanks for this great post. And this one too:
