Did you ever wonder what you were going to be when you grew up? Or even better, were you ever scared of leaving a job because you did not know what lied ahead? Sumo, I was once there too, then I had a chance meeting with Derek Sivers and that all changed. Derek has had an interesting life to say the least. He went from indie musician to starting the worlds largest independent online music distribution service. Sivers explains to us that having success as an entrepreneur isn't based on just pure book smarts but true passion for your work. He loved what he did so much that when he sold his company, he decided to put the money back into a trust for independent musicians.
Derek Sivers, founder of CDBaby.com really helps put things in a clear perspective. None of this esoteric intangible advice. Derek really lays it down to the nuts and bolts and gives solid advice that you can put into action right now. If you're not following his blog or twitter, you should be.
