I liked your approach. "Burn the boats" sends a clear message to all of those preventing themselves from starting their own path and take action. I usually go about this site here http://bit.ly/9qpwP and read some advices and tips (also I post my owns). I have noticed that the hardest thing to give up is your passion. You have to give up to it in the way that you have to start sharing it with others to let them know what it feels to be there, and that takes hard work, effort and probably less time to be you the one who is there enjoying it at all, with no worries at all. So, if you are prepared to share your passion by "giving up to it" you are ready to start!

Thanks for talking about Marc Andreessen, he is also a leader in the right way to build a company and raise funding. his template of "introduction mail" via venture hacks is a true master-peace.

Any additional heroes you have, we can learn from, maybe from the social world?

[...] We have reached a level where work and knowledge can be and should be intrinsically motivating (doing it is its own reward). Not all jobs of course fit this model but as the economy rebounds there is no reason to do a job you don’t want to. In my last post I talked about the parts of your business you are least likely to give up. [...]

Brilliant. Anything that gets a visceral reaction is a good place to start burning.

Pizzazz describes this post.

In my world the yellow pages mentality http://bit.ly/aIzZWG and thinking business/brand 1st (shift: product/services 1st, biz/brand 2nd) http://bit.ly/c4lo3P are two boats we are burning a product at a time, a merchant at a time, and a city at a time.

Touché on the marvelous post Tac!
