Attended: Lift Off 1 (February 2010)
Where were you in your entrepreneurial journey before Lift Off? Running a stealth web design/dev business from hotels across America, struggling with the ability to work within the contraints of my travel schedule while fighting a losing battle with a job that was crushing my soul and depriving the world of my gifts.
What are you up to now? I’ve been self-employed full-time for over a year now, and the quality of my life has improved by an order of magnitude. I’m working on a high profile project with a personal hero of mine, opportunities abound, and I have as much business as I can handle. Life is good.
What Willie’s Up To – September 2011 Update:
- Not dying
- Exotic dancing (video coming soon!)
- Full time web performance engineering
- Preparing for my first trip abroad (an extended adventure)
- Being mentored by some of the most respected humans alive
What was your favorite thing about Lift Off? Meeting crazy people like me who offered rapid-fire feedback on my approach and business model. Honestly, I didn’t take much away from LiftOff that I applied to my business–I didn’t really need that.
What I needed was someone implicitly saying that they were in my corner.
…and the rest is history.
