John Donovan, co-founder of GoNextWorld (featured on the right), posted the below message on his facebook wall yesterday. If my blogs have not painted a good enough picture yet, maybe this will help. Enjoy!
"I quit my engineering gig at Bettis Atomic Power Laboratories to concentrate my entrepreneurial efforts on our brain child, GoNextWorld, exactly one year ago. Some people told me "You'll be back to the cubicle" or "Leaving this secure job is too risky". But with the help of a bad ass team, support from friends and family, and a sprinkle of perseverance, I can say that I made the right decision,
and that leaving that job to pursue my dream was the best choice of my life.
Over this year I've learned that the thrill of creating a business, positively impacting others, and having a passion for what you do far outweigh a steady pay check, vacation days, and tps reports.
Thanks to all that have helped me, believed in me, and tolerated me during the most chaotic / impactful year of my life. Can't wait to see what happens in the next 365 days. Joe Donovan, Joanne Donovan, Margie Wiater Tarquinio, Ryan Gilson just to name a few! Yinz are great!"
