Hey it’s my 30th b-day!

Every year on my birthday I had certain rules

#1 – Never work on your birthday

#2 – Get a great cowboy hat and wear it all day. Never stop wearing the hat

#3 – Start drinking when you want to, stop when you’re broke.

#4 – Hijack your friends and make them party with you, regardless of their plans, lives, or wishes contrary

These rules served me well between age 21 – 25. Then my quarter-life crisis kicked in, and I started a company with my bro.

So I amended the rules

#1 – Never work on your birthday  Make your clients party with you. If there’s a meeting onsite, they’re getting a beer. It’s my birthday – it’s a celebration.

#2 – Get a great cowboy hat OUTFIT and wear it all day. Never stop wearing the hat outfit.

#3 – Start drinking when you want to  the meetings are done, stop when you’re broke  your employees are broke.

#4 – Hijack your friends friends, employees, family, clients and make them party with you, regardless of their plans, lives, or wishes contrary.

Remember that Life’s a roller coaster – the ride’s more fun on the way down than on the way up.
