Exposure101··on Need some advice before going "all in" on my start up project
I'm 25, and I'm in the same boat kinda. Read the book Rework, it is amazing.

As far as the out of the box ideas, don't think about making ideas to make money, solve problems...sometimes, try to solve problems people don't even know exist yet.

I just quit my job to do...whatever I'm going to do...full time. I've been saving money, and I just decided...I'm smart enough, dedicated enough, it's time. Do I suggest this for everyone? No, not really. I've been working at night on projects for about 9 months and I'm just ...ready.

I suggest more savings, more planning, and more working at night until you really decide its time. Run your own company, on your own time, until you get that ...urge. It may be 3 months from now, or 3 years. Either way, as long as you can pay your bills and eat, either with savings or side jobs. Do what you love, make tools you want, learn as much as you can, and change the world. Email me whenever you feel like. Tyler.Exposure (a) gmail.com

Exposure101··on Lessons from Valve’s Employee Handbook
Conformity isn't always the best idea. Do what you think works, and adjust as you go. Have awesome employees and an awesome employer, because going to work everyday shouldn't just be about money, it should be about changing the world.

I'm glad there is still awesome people out there and thriving. I'm 25 and I still feel like the weird kid sometimes.
