Tell me about yourself.

I'm suddenly struck with the desire to know how other people do the things that matter most to them, how they find and follow their passions.

How do you decide where your heart is? How do you carve out time and energy to pursue it?

Are you on a new road or one you've been following for a long time? What have you learned that could help others? What false starts have you made, what poor judgments? What have you compromised, and what do those compromises look like to you now?

Go you!

Wow! You are my hero!

I used to have a painting company, and I've renovated a couple houses but in a much much more half-assed way than you did. (Okay, that's partly because I have another business of my own, as does my SO, and we never had the determination to shut those down. But still.)

Kudos for renovating 'a couple' of houses... that makes it sound so effortless! What's the secret to doing it with another business on the side? I can't imagine.

It's simple, if not easy: work all the time. Also beg/borrow as much help as humanly possible.
