After I published my last newsletter, I received the following email from J. I get lots of emails on this subject, so I dedicated an entire post as an answer. I hope you find it helpful.Dear Jia,I am one of the millions that some years ago watched your TED talk in awe of your courage, humility and genuinely sincere spirit. I continued to buy your book, and even more so did I find your story compelling, riveting, inspiring and especially when during your challenge phase you got offered a really good job opportunity I believe you said from a successful businessman. At this point I gather that your life had already made that turn on its path to destiny! For all intensive purposes, the tide was turned. You had generated the initial momentum to propel you through the first couple of layers of resistance where 90% of all others stumble and remain! What was to follow was a course plotted when you didn't back down after your colleague didn't "loan" you the money of your first rejection.
Perfect! Thank you for sharing this - it gives me a very good idea of where to begin. :)
