Go west, young man

Notes &

A great review of Tim Ferriss’ book by @msuster. What’s particularly interesting is if you read Mark’s own story, his first bump into entrepreneurship (“it taught me at 22 to be my own man”) was the lesson he took from layoffs at his first job amidst the Savings & Loan crisis. I suspect many people are in that boat now — I know many of my friends are — and I hope they’re drawing similar lessons and strength from it as Mark did. You gotta break some eggs to make some omelets; here’s hoping that more people get off the “deferred life plan” by breaking some eggs in 2010.
