I'm in a place where I'm going stir crazy at my job, however putting a lot of thought into my next move - likely to be my own venture - so this post really re-enforced my current thinking that I've gotta be involved in something that gets my juices flowing. If it's possible then why not? If you're interested I wrote a brief book review on Flow on my blog entitled, Get Your Flow On: http://greatestnetworker.blogspot.com/2011/07/get-your-flow-on-book-review.html Cheers, Francis Sydney, Australia Hey Jonathan,

(Another worthy addition to this discussion is the book "Talent Is Overrated" by Geoff Colvin.)

Good advice! Work day to day can be extremely difficult. Is the answer to enjoy what you do or do what you enjoy? It's tough. Thanks for you insight though. I stumbled upon this blog like I did yours. Though their insight on work was very meaningful: http://burisonthecouch.wordpress.com/2009/12/31/our-house/ Thanks for the post! I’d love to see more like it. Thanks for the great post. Good advice! Work day to day can be extremely difficult. Is the answer to enjoy what you do or do what you enjoy? It’s tough.

Malcolm Gladwell refers to it as the "10,000 hour" rule in his book Outliers. Highly recommended read for those interested in this theory. The argument is simple enough - practise (and lots of it) separates an amateur from a master. Gladwell also argues that circumstance plays a big part in any success, and that no hero ever rose to the top on purely their own merit. Every successful person had a helping hand along the way.
