Start (Conference) of Something New: Oh and my birthday
I love starting new things, the initial rush of an idea that takes over your world and won’t go away. It’s a little like falling in love. Which is odd because I’m usually a bit more cautious in love than I am in dreaming. But I hope I’ve gotten over that a little bit too.
Point is: Follow-through is a weaker part of my character where I’m actively seeking improvement. Which is way today I’m attending the Start Conference put on my my friends Jeff Veen and Bryan Mason. TSC is about starting your own business, an idea that’s intrigued me, even before Booktour.com. I know all about getting an idea and trying to bring it to life. That’s the part I’m good at. Giving it legs and letting it walk? I could be better.
That’s what I’m hoping to learn today, this wonderful day, my birthday, the beginning of my 35th year. I feel better, fuller, happier to be alive today than I did at 25, 15, maybe ever.
