Inc. Magazine: Jason Fried, this is how I work! (Misc!!)
Man, I'm blogging!! I haven't done this many posts in a while. I've been feeling semi-relaxed these past few days, maybe that's why. Whatever. So, I always worry that I'm going to sound fan-boyish when I talk about people I admire - maybe I shouldn't care. Either way. People like Jason Fried are really interesting to listen to - either you loathe his attitude towards things or you really identify with him. His latest article in Inc. Magazine is him giving a glimpse into how he operates day to day. Funny, we interviewed him a while back and asked some of the exact same questions. People, I think for the most part, are drawn to him not just because he's got a wildly successful business but because he seems to have a business/personal life that are woven well together. Most people don't, you know? Maybe that's just why I enjoy reading his thoughts. It's weird, I imagine Steve Jobs is quite different from Jason Fried, but there are similarities. I have oddly placed their insights in the same "mental bin" in my head. Hmm. Anyway, great feature, check it out at the link below.
And yeah, here's the link to our interview with him almost a year ago.
***You know whats bugging me, is people in comments asking Jason, directly, how they can: skip meetings, come in late, minimize work weeks, etc, etc, etc, and make money like 37signals does. He never said it would work for you. He's simply giving a look into what makes 37signals work. Not everything translates to your business, you know? And honestly, I feel like as soon as you have to ask those questions you already don't "get it". Probably the same reason why I can't stand self-help books. Ugh.
