Great post. I contemplate a lot of this every day, and it was nice to get motivated this morning by reading this.
I feel like I am still searching for my WHY. I have made a few attempts at getting out of the typical 9-5 grind. Started my own charity poker room, tried day trading seriously for 1 year (broke even), tried online poker...but all of those were really just to become my own boss and make more money.
The big idea I have been wanting to move forward with is starting my own gaming company. I have loved gaming since I was a kid, and still game to this day (at 38 years old).
I feel the kick in the pants will be coming soon, as I have been researching ideas and bringing focus on a couple good ones to possibly start the company with.
Thanks for the motivation, keep it up, cheers.
Glad I could get you motivated on your new venture. I do love a good game when I take time off to recharge.
