A most exceptional posting in a fantastic Blog. America is flooded with phony “Positivism” but you face your “failings” with bold honesty. The thing is, most people would love to claim ownership to such “failings.” You are an exceptionally successful person. Maybe you don’t make $20K per month yet, but you’ve had more genuine experience and achievement than most people have in ten lifetimes!

hey tynan,

thanks for the honesty – baring one’s soul like this in a blog is what, in my opinion, makes for a top blog.

am sure many will relate ….

One of your best posts… I also had an online gambling business that left me kind of cocky while my peers were busting their asses starting careers.

Just make sure that whatever you measure yourself against, that it is YOU.

your blog is the only blog i read.

You will be successful. Its the people who are just content with life as it is and dont desire to be more and achieve more, those people wont be successful. its that hunger that will drive you to your goal.

I too want so much more myself.. there are so many aspects on my life i need to excel in. hopefully through time and hard work i will.

Do you need a partner in crime? aka someone to keep you motivated? Or maybe “mastermind group”.

I know it’s my circle of friends that keeps me pushing myself and living at my edge both in work and socially.

Our track has been very similar. Where you went with gambling, I went with the stock market in high school. Only in the past year have I made a change.

For me, a catalyst was understanding that knowledge is comprised of two parts: thinking and acting. And if I’ve never done it, then I don’t actually have knowledge of it. It was a wakeup call for me to start acting more (and figuring out what my ambitions were to act toward), rather than thinking that I could just do all of these things I always thought I could do.

I just moved back to Austin after much traveling. I went on a 3 month RV road trip (roadtrip20.com). If you want to meet up for good conversation, let me know. You have my email address with this comment.

Hey Tynan,

A burst of honesty here.
Great inspiring post as it made me think about my own life too.

Thanks for sharing :)

Hey buddy.. there is obviously much respect for you from your readers.

Great post, which I can definitely relate to. It seems like a lifetime ago when you stopped off for a nap on my couch on your way to Project Hollywood!

Cheers.. J!
