Greetings friends. It’s my 4-year anniversary of self-employment today and to celebrate I went for a bike ride, read a bunch of stuff, shot some videos for a freelancing course I’m creating, and watched some mid-day Netflix. As mentioned last week, I’ll be sending the occasional Boundless Reads mid-week. Expect these every other week or so. Hit the button to comment, ask questions or share your goodreads from the week.
Hey Paul. This resonated with me. I have found as I have opened up to my spouse, with my insecurities and my "convictions", (aka the things I don't know and the things I feel convinced of) it does tend to blow up our view of what our work should look like. But when we work together on our shared view of the future of our work and how it should change, it tends to open up more slowly and more gently than we had feared. I am not saying that fear doesn't keep us stuck, but sharing the struggle makes it easier to manage. When I read your update this morning it solidified something in me ... (made me more ready to let go) where I was still harboring some resistance. Thanks as always, John
