> My own business is on the back burner. And who knows, I may not return to it any time soon. If ever. In this emerging season of life, I’m all-in on Foster. It’s work that brings me alive, and I’m doing it alongside a handful of my closest internet homies.
This reminds me of a philosophy a good friend of mine shared with me years ago; die broke.
When he first said this to me, my reaction was "that won't be too hard to do." But then my friend shared with me that it was not a trite phrase, but instead a unique (to me) way to think about one's career.
It turns out there is a book[0] dedicated to this topic and better still a four page synopsis is available[1].
What I would add to counterbalance the possible nihilistic flavour of the synopsis is to intersperse doing the things one wants to do between the gigs which pay for them. Much like using and then recharging batteries.
