Wise Words
“There comes a time when it’s important to stop doing the things you like and start doing the things you want!”
The distinction between doing things you like and the things you want is a profound and important one for me. There is a difference, and this quote is about getting out of your comfort zone, facing hard truths, taking big action, risking what you have and taking a leap of faith. I will never forget these words, and I will never forget the conversation they were uttered in.
Not only is the guy who said the above a true friend, I think he may just be a genius in ways that he may not fully understand. His courageous, positive, fun, determined, ambitious view on life always inspires me and spurs me on in everything I do. He is a true friend, and some one I trust with some of my most private thoughts.
If you hadn’t guessed it, these are the words of Robin Tabari. I hope he knows I am grateful we are friends and I look forward to the exciting adventures we have planned for the future.

Are you doing what you like, or are you doing what you want?

Hey Alex, G’day from down under oz!
Thanks 4 dropping by matey….the 5day JV giveaway produced 60 opt ins and that was from 1 ebook BlogSetupGuide 2.8 by Dean Holland.
I highly reccomend giveaways as this is a good opportunity to build your list, imagine submitting 3 gifts in every event? you’d get hundreds if not thousands in weeks and months instead of years!
I totally agree with your post about stepping outside your comfort zone, im doing that now whilst steadily maintaining my input with everything else!:) A very imfrmative post!

Hi Alex
I have stop doing what I like, because I was not getting what I wanted. Sometimes you have to do things, even outside of your comfort zone, if you know it will lend you to where you want to be in life.
