Growing up is serious business. Some people never want to grow up. That’s fine – but they will suffer for it. Growing up is the most important thing you could be doing with your life, and in my opinion, you should seek out whatever you can that will help you grow up as fast as possible. You will have a threshold of how much change, learning, and growth you can take before you want to explode. You should be pushing hard against that threshold if you want to become awesome. People who are awesome don’t delay the process of growing up – they know it is the most essential part of their life. By aggressively growing up, you are getting closer and closer to living an awesome life.

We’ve found a lot of people are having trouble growing up. Some people never grow up. People who aren’t growing up are blaming the outside world for their problems, not taking responsibility for themselves, have low expectations of what they can achieve, and are generally just living mediocre lives. Growing up is the most important thing you can do in your life – but how do you do it?

So we decided to write an ebook to help young adults (and anyone else) grow up more effectively. I have spent years consuming content voraciously and producing nothing. I’ve been soaking up knowledge like a sponge and have not been applying it as well as I could. I considered starting a blog before it was cool and brushed it off because “I didn’t know what to write about”. Guess what? It doesn’t matter. Start something anyway. Get feedback and adapt.

Here’s my commitment to you – faithful readers:
We will release our ebook about growing up in 3 months – by February 15th 2010
We’ll keep you updated as we go along.
