I spent the few months doing what I described in the post - pretending it didn't happen. It's amazing what you can convince yourself of.
When I finally decided I was being an idiot, I started to focus on finding a job. It was way harder than I thought it would be (there is a theme of being arrogant here - another post another day).
I'm now working at a startup as a software + product guy. Learning from some really smart people and loving it so far. In lots of ways, the storm was the best thing to happen to me.
I can only say that because I really have a lot of great people around me. It made me appreciate all the opportunities I've been given and can sympathize more with people who haven't had the same support.
Thanks for checking out the post.
- tomjen3 13y agoSo you gave up your dreams? I was hoping for a story about how you found investments in your own startup.
- RobAley 13y agoPerhaps he's just looking for a different route to get to his dreams?
- willwashburn 13y ago100%, thanks. There is more than one way to skin the old meow meow. Getting over myself enough to realize that was the big take away from all this.
- willwashburn 13y agoThe dream is still very much alive. There is more than one path, and admitting that I could use some help and a few tips here or there from the people who have already found success was a big lesson for me from the last 6 months. If you succeed, it's success. If you fail, it's experience towards success.
- tomjen3 13y agoFair enough. I just hate it when people give up their dreams.
