Sometimes taking a different path, or pivoting as we call it in startup land, can be misperceived by some. They think you might have lost your mind or aren't focussed. Know that "they", the critics, nay-sayers, or even your lover, don't know what you do. They can't see your vision. They don't know the fire in your belly, or what makes you feel like you are living a purposeful life. Only you do. So just do it. (It helps to write it down...Happy National Handwriting Day!) And...if you are in #NewYork for the @nytimes Travel Show - come say Hi on Saturday from 11 am on the Meet the Experts platform.
