If you REALLY wanna do something else … something greater … something you’re passionate about … something that allows you to leave a bigger and better imprint on the world, in your own unique way, and enjoy it AND get paid for it … Then I’d do most, if not all, of these 11 things …

1. Be Relentless In Your Search

The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me. — Ayn Rand

2. Stop Being a Fucking Pussy

The edge is where all the cool stuff happens. You are nowhere near the goddamn edge. It’s time you stopped being a fucking pussy. — Julien Smith

3. Ask for Big Guidance

I just basically got on my knees, and with everything in me, asked for some guidance when it came to what I should be doing for a living. — Chris McCombs

4. Be Still

Our souls know our calling. — Chris McCombs

5. Ask Yourself

The unexamined life is not worth living. — Socrates

6. Ask Others

Once you start asking, you’d be amazed at the people who will start showing up in your life with the answers. — Chris McCombs

7. Research

If you don’t seek out the clues, sign posts and the popcorn trail that runs through the halls of the universal library that’s out there, it’s no one’s fault but your own. — Chris McCombs

8. If a Clean Break Isn’t an Option, Start out Part Time in Your Off Hours

Most people tiptoe through life, hoping they make it safely to death. — Bob Proctor

9. Trust God

Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls. — Joseph Campbell

10. Be in the Action Business, NOT the Results Business

Play from your fucking heart! — Bill Hicks

11. Make Your Mind Up That NOTHING Is Gonna Stop You

Let your Inner Giant out of it’s cage to rise up and do some seriously awesome shit. — Chris McCombs

Guy Kawasaki: The Top 10 Lessons You’ll Need

Guy Kawasaki’s Advice to the Class of 2013 –
The Top 10 Lessons You’ll Need

10. Live off your parents as long as you can. Take whole semesters off to travel overseas. Take jobs and internships that pay little or no money. Investigate your passions on your parent’s nickel. Or dime. Or quarter. Or dollar. Your goal should be to extend college to at least six years.

9. Pursue joy, not happiness. Happiness is temporary and fleeting. Joy, by contrast, is unpredictable. It comes from pursing interests and passions that do not obviously result in happiness.

8. Embrace the unknown. One of the biggest mistakes you can make in life is to accept the known and resist the unknown. Do exactly the opposite: challenge the known and embrace the unknown.

7. Learn to speak a foreign language, play a musical instrument, and play non-contact sports. These are the things you’ll appreciate and can do when you are older.

6. Continue to learn. It gets easier to learn once you’re out of school because it’s easier to see the relevance of why you need to learn.

5. Learn to like yourself or change yourself until you can like yourself. Fix your problem. Fix your life.

4. Don’t get married too soon. I got married when I was 32. That’s about the right age. Until you’re about that age, you may not know who you are. You also may not know who you’re marrying.

3. Play to win, and win to play. Compete to the depth and breadth and height that your soul can reach. Your greatest competition is yourself.

2. Obey the absolutes. Preserve the absolutes as much as you can. If you never lie, cheat, or steal, you will never have to remember who you lied to, how you cheated, and what you stole.

1. Enjoy your family and friends. Nothing—not money, power, or fame—can replace your family and friends or bring them back once they are gone.

Surround yourself with positive successful people.

Surround yourself with only people who are going to life you higher! Life is already filled with those who want to bring you down. — Oprah Winfrey

David Farr, CEO of Emerson Electric, on Business Success

For a company to stay viable and relevant, you have to continuously rebuild.

Do not be afraid of taking on challenges that you think are far beyond what you can do. Take on that risk. Do it.

In the manufacturing world, energy is our highest cost.

Government doesn’t understand what it takes to invest.

Develop the best people around you. Never compromise with people.
