I quit my job over 3 years ago. My first self employed venture crashed and burned! But I can never look back and say 'I had this great idea....' I tried it and it didn't work out but I learnt such a lot. Fortunately my vocation found me through a series of coincidences and what some might call luck (I call actually making the most of all previous opportunities!!!). Good luck to all those who take the leap - its not always easy but the old saying comes in 'no pain no gain'. Have fun! Great post! I quit my job over 3 years ago.

Steve, I could write about being average and working for a telecom, but I'm not sure that's what this blog about. I'm sure there is a market for a blog like that, it's just not one that I personally would write. Thanks for the suggestion though! What's so apparent to me is that we have many different goals, but being minimalist seems to be a central way to achieve all of them. For me it's about living and working everyone, for others it is a completely different goal. All are awesome. I wish you the best of luck in the coming year, let me know if there is any way I can help you achieve your goals!

I don't think everyone can take this attitude. You are free to make your choice because others follow the average lifestyle. Lets say everyone decided to live in Florida and no one wanted to work in energy or telecoms. How would that work? “..We can live anywhere, work from anywhere, and do whatever…”

It really resonates with me. I recently read The 4-Hour Workweek (several times). Actually, the first time I read it a few years ago, I thought it had a few interesting ideas, but I didn't particularly like the book. Maybe I just wasn't ready for it. But now I am very ready! I even bought the revised and updated version of the book. I plan on giving the old one away. I have begun the process of liberating myself from the need to work for others and the need to work in a particular location. I just started a new blog today with the theme Dream into Action: http://www.markcancellieri.com/ I'm planning on making this my basic platform for achieving "location independence." This isn't my first attempt at blogging. I think that I gave up too early last time because of two main reasons: 1) I wasn't passionate enough about the subject that I chose, and 2) I didn't know what I was doing. To address the first issue, I chose a slightly different subject than before (was investing and personal finance, now lifestyle design and achieving your dreams). To address the second issue, I have committed to educating myself over time about blogging and what it takes to be successful at it. I will just take action and make improvements along the way. I also am attracted to the idea of minimalism (which is why I subscribed to this blog). However, I really haven't put minimalism into practice at home, although I'm pretty minimalist at work. I have been procrastinating about implementing minimalism at home because it is a little overwhelming. I need to begin taking it step by step. Have a Happy New Year everyone! Everett,
