If there’s one thing you can learn from publishing online, especially in the news sector, it’s that you can’t let complacency set in. You have to grab things by the balls and do what you have to do.
The same applies to dreams, plans. They won’t happen while sitting there, waiting for a miracle. To be happy you have have to pursue your dreams and get active, get of that lazy ass of yours and stop bitching if that was what you were doing. Sometimes you might need a reminder, but when you have been lucky enough that someone woke you up… act! Don’t wait and talk about it, just do it!
I am hungry. I am an achiever. I want to be somewhere there at the top, where ever that may be.
Life’s short, too short and you only live once.
We all have our dreams and some of us are lucky enough to be able to work at their dreams. So it comes that hot on the heels of the acquisition news, I can announce that I have decided to step down from my position as member of the managing team at Splashpress Media (1). Step down after having worked up to where I was. Step down because I want more, because I am hungry.
Splashpress Media is a small company, an indie network and has always resisted the call of VC. There is no board I could possibly join as consultant, advisor or whatsoever, but I will be down in the trenches with the authors and freelance for both The Blog Herald and Forever Geek. Both those sites definitely should aspire to become worthy 9rules members. And I want to profile myself as a hard working and valuable 9r member.
What’s next for myself? I am an idea tank, throw something at me and within minutes I’ll have ideas for it. Change the core and only minutes later again, there are new ideas. But ideas alone are worthless, they also need to be converted. Now is the time to start showing that I have learned and not only play hard. Now is the time to act(2).
Act and live by the rules.
First I need a partner in crime and then… rock ‘n roll!
