Chris Guillebeau's Unconventional Book Tour

Just got home from my first ever book signing!  Oops - that sounds like my book signing, doesn't it?  Well, maybe one day.  :)  But no, I mean it was the first time I had ever intentionally gone to see an author.  Who, you ask?  Chris Guillebeau.  When I heard that he was passing through town on his Unconventional Book Tour, I decided I couldn't NOT go.  It was so exciting to talk to him!  Although, I have to admit, I was as nervous as I am in interviews.  LOL!

I wrote down quite a few nuggets (that one's for Shawn) from his talk  - but here's something that stuck. He was saying that along his travels he comes across so many people with great ideas.  People that wish they would have started earlier...gone after that dream.  And they're kicking themselves for not starting when they were younger, whatever it may be.  They're often stuck in the place of non-action, and wonder if it's too late to begin.

This is exactly how Chris felt 3 years ago when he started The Art of Non-Conformity.  But he did it anyway.
