How many ideas have you had that got stopped in their tracks because someone told you they wouldn't work in The Real World? How many times has your creativity gotten a smack in the head when you told yourself, that won't fly in The Real World?
So where is The Real World anyway? And what makes us so sure we want to live there? If this is what happens when an idea pops it's head out of my soul, forget it, I'm not going near it!
Now I'm not saying that every idea's a keeper. Far from it. Just that The Real World seems pretty lame, compared to the world where my creativity, and yours, is given a chance to fly.
Here's a guy who speaks eloquently about The Real World, and about starting a successful business, one of the things you're not supposed to be able to do in the other place. He did, though, and it rocks. It'll make you wonder, what can you do when you change your address to Possibility?
Meet David Heinemeier Hansson, a partner in 37 Signals, a man who is living his Brilliance, and who'll inspire you to do the same...no matter what they say in the real world.
