The Beginner's Guide to Live Your Legend

A path begins by walking

“A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one’s own path, not chasing after the dreams of others.” 

-Chin-Ning Chu

LiveYourLegend is dedicated to you and your freedom. To finding the work you love doing and using it to put your dent in the world.

As Chin-Ning says, every one of us has our own path to pursue. I could not agree more. I started this site because I was so taken back by the template the world was trying to shove me in. I knew a better way must exist.

I didn’t want to do something just because it had been done that way before. So I didn’t.

It took a few trips around the world and some unforgettable experiences and business pursuits, but it’s finally clear.

I’m here to help you discover what lights you on fire. Life is meant to be lived on your terms, doing things that matter. This is a place to start so let’s do it.

If you’re a new visitor there is a lot to sort through (100′s of posts in fact). So let this be your beginner’s guide to life on your terms. (For more about me and this adventure head over to the About Page.)

Another awesome start is by joining the community and checking out the Passionate Work Toolkit - a gift to anyone who subscribes to free weekly email updates. You’ll get a 70-page eBook and all kinds of other good stuff to help you do work that matters. That will keep you busy for a while. You can do that below:

The best way to get through all this is knocking off a few posts at a time. Don’t do it all at once.

So why don’t we start where people have found the most value?

About Scott- The Very Short Version:

I’m a die-hard adventurer, life-experimenter, writer, personal freedom coach and value investor, in search of the extraordinary. I am crazy committed to discovering your (and my) own path to personal freedom and living life on your terms by helping you find and do work you LOVE. I do this through my coaching, writing and simply living life at the limit (or just over it). I’m 29, live in San Francisco, am recently married to my college sweetheart and I get out and explore the world as much as absolutely possible.
