I bought my apple shares 5 years ago and as you know it was a big success.

Well, it was a (very) little joke, as you can imagine

Mike, you can do it easily in 730 days, and you’ll still be way younger than me.

Soon I’m going to start a new series on entrepreneurship during which I’ll reveal my Surefire Plan for Salarymen who want to go solo. The company where you work now will teach you everything you need to know.

Thanks for writing, and stay tuned!

I’m so tired of this deferred life talk. I grew up dirt poor in the US, basically a subsistence farmer. I wore hand-me-downs and second hand clothes. Couldn’t ever do a damn thing because there was no money. I’m almost 40 and not really middle class. Shareholder lawyer types tell me I’m so fucking smart and can do anything. I lost my job a little more than two months ago. Everyone tells me that I’ll be fine, this is a growth opportunity, use it to break out of the deferred life plan. Well, fuck you all because I don’t have millions setting me free. I have nothing. I have never had the luxury of doing anything except working to feed myself and pay my bills. I can last perhaps 9 months to a year without working. The fact is a certain type can opt out of the deferred life plan but most of us simply cannot.

Oh my god, I have to know how that sentence ends.

I’m a proponent of the Deferred Life Plan. Many people may find themselves in a life of office drudgery, whereas fewer people will, say, have an opportunity to sell their company and follow their calling.

Making a plan can help. A soul-crushing job need not be forever.
