The Right Decision Will Make Everyone Squirm

Recently I started talking about purchasing a 1963 Lincoln Continental. The people around me warned me and generally were a bit skeptical. This only fueled my interest. Why? Because everyone thinks I’m crazy for doing it.

Seth Godin talks about how the safe choice is often the risky choice and the risky choice is the safe one. I’ve made a life few decisions that made no sense to the people around me. It turns out those were some of the best decisions I ever made.

Here’s some example from my life:

• Took art classes in high school instead of working out with the football team. I design for a living now.
• Left a full football scholarship to play at a bigger school, which led me to meeting my wife.
• Took a job offer and quit school right after 9/11. I made 40k as a junior designer and that company was my first freelance client.
• Left said job to go freelancing, which led me to Steve.
• Put in every dime I owned into Less Everything so Steve and I could change our piece of the internet.
• Released LovdbyLess our open social network, free code = good for business? Yes it’s helped bring in over 1.5mil in consulting work in the past 2 years.
• Launched WeAllHateQuickbooks.com much to the disagreeing marketing consultant that insisted we’d be sued.
• Poured time and money into ideas like LessAccounting, LessTimeSpent, LessProjects, now these side projects represent 40% of our income.
• LessConf, who throws a conference in 7 weeks? We did, solid turnout, amazing love and a great time was had.

Most people are sheep and they don’t realize it. Follow their beaten path and face the cliff after them.

I’m waiting for a few “Less Everything except cars” type jokes, but FYI this car cost less than what you’re driving.
