As of August, this year, my non-compete agreement is over and I am already involved in a few local projects. One of those projects is in fact an entrepreneurship-investors event, called Venture Connect. Basically, my job here is to screen interesting projects, to evaluate them and to make sure they meet a certain criteria.

Overeating, drinking too much, or even exercising too much are also symptoms that you’re lowering your chances to get things done by simply ruining your physical health. Well said, brotha.

And every once in a while those friends of mine are doing great things, like providing fresh, original and useful content. To my surprise, David’s book was a refresher.

You get an amazing experience but at the same time you slowly decrease your overall resistance and health. Staring at something (a project, a task, a client) without acting on it will make it stop.
