Set up a life you don't need to escape from.

You market when you hire and when you fire. You market when you call tech support, and you market every time you send a memo.

When exactly were we brainwashed into believing that the best way to earn a living is to have a job?

If you're not willing to get your 'worst one ever' out of the way, how will you possibly do better than that?

It's far easier to put your future into someone else's hands than it is to slog your way forward, owning the results as you go.

Anxiety is experiencing failure in advance. Tell yourself enough vivid stories about the worst possible outcome of your work and you'll soon come to believe them. Worry is not preparation, and anxiety doesn't make you better.

The world doesn't owe you a living, but just when you needed it, a door was opened for you to make a difference.
