Welcome to the honest-to-goodness inaugural Idea Free-For-All!

This thread will stay open all day. I’ll hang out and make myself useful, so feel free to throw anything you’ve got at me: Problems, questions, confusions, ideas you need to generate, blueprint or make sense of. I’ll be here even if it’s quiet (it is, after all, the first one ever) so if you need help, comment and tell me what’s on your mind.

“Help! I hate my job. I want to work for myself. PLEASE GOD, there must be a solution. What should I do!?”

  1. Read 10 Reasons You Should Never Get a Job, 10 Business Lessons from a Snarky Entrepreneur, and listen to these podcasts: How to Make Money Without a Job, Kick-Start Your Own Business, and Embracing Your Passion (all by Steve Pavlina).
  2. Read Career Renegade: How to Make a Great Living Doing What You Love by Jonathan Fields.
  3. Read Escape from Cubicle Nation: From Corporate Prisoner to Thriving Entrepreneur by Pam Slim.
  4. Pick up Naomi Dunford’s Summer Camp workshop, which is happening in July (so if you’re going to do it, do it quick)—it’s just for beginners.
  5. While you’re at it, consider Naomi’s Online Business School—it could close the gap on a lot of basic concepts and skills you need to make money on the internet, and it covers all kinds of different material. It’s pretty crazy awesome.
