The Calacanis 120% Solution

I haven't been this inspired in months. I'm really hoping this will be the mantra that carries me through 2009. I came across this on Jason Calacanis' blog:

I was turned on to Jason's blog after hearing him on my favorite podcast, This Week In Tech. In a discussion about the current depressing state of economic affairs and the painful lack of capital available to entrepreneurs, Calacanis made the statement that a smart business person will take the opportunity in a down market to invest in themselves. That means, if you've been thinking about a degree, this might be a good time to go back to school. Or, if you've been wanting to learn a programming language, then get a book and start hacking away. If you've just been thinking about blogging and not actually blogging (pointing my finger squarely at myself :/ ) then get to writing. When the investors freeze up the funds needed to start your business, invest in yourself.

Here's to working harder, getting smarter, and self-improving... oh and having fun doing it!
