Seth Godin’s Scalp Is On Fire

August 18, 2008

I’ve always talked to folks about having a sense of urgency in life. Because that’s how I operate. I look at the young & successful, and I feel like I’m 10 years behind. And I don’t think that’s a bad thing either. If you don’t have nowhere to go and nothing to achieve, then you [...]
