Now that I’ve made the announcement of where I’m heading from here, it’s going to take some serious work to make it happen. Since it seems so far off, I’m not always the most motivated to make things happen today.
I think the best source is from others who have already done it. There are some great posts out there from others who will not only tell you how they got where they are today, but will also tell you why what they’ve done is so awesome and worthwhile.
