Don’t be afraid to be different
Here are some thoughts on which to begin your Monday. You’ve thought about diverging from the traditional path. You’ve considered packing up your Swingline stapler, your family photos, and leaving the comfort of your cubicle to attempt something that the world might even find worth remembering.To diverge from tradition is to be different, however. As you take your first steps, you’re sense of freedom will be overcome by fear as you consider the elements of financial and emotional security from which you are walking away. You will realize that people are watching you.
They are watching because they are considering following your lead.
Think about it. You have to take risks to earn great rewards. Let them watch; they’ll follow your lead once you prove that the path is clear for them to travel.

being different needs to be brave to express yourself. at least to me. some look at you and judge you. some agree with you. being different is sometimes lonely. but cant be same.

Entrepreneurs break things to create value. a vc told me that one time and i have found it to be true. would love to meet up at roasters some time. our offices are only a couple of blocks away.
