Chris Brogan, on Throwing Away The Maps.
There’s a fallacy out there that someone can show you how to get to where you want to go.
That’s not really the case.
What someone can do is show you strategies or processes that worked for them when they were jumping the gate.
Your mileage may vary.
The fact of the matter is, once you decide that the socially acceptable career path is no longer working for you, you’re on your own.
This is, of course, utterly terrifying.
There is some comfort in the fact that other’s have blazed similar trails before you, even if you have too go it alone.
Be brave. Go bold. Jump the gate!
