Hi Jim

I found your site via Problogger.com

I think out of the points you’ve listed, I find the last one the most challenging – not that I don’t know what my passion is (’cos I do), but it’s just finding the courage to follow it regardless of the obstacles I may face. I say this because when things start getting really tough, I’m often tempted to pack it all in.

I read somewhere (I can’t remember exactly where) that people tend to give up without realising they’re on the brink of making it. It’s that thought that gets me through sometimes. Keeps me going.

Thanks for the post.

take care…

Thanks for the update on the show…I started watching in season one, loved it than dropped HBO. After a season or two I wanted to netflix it to catch up but never got around to it. Recently I gave up on that when season 5 started. Nice to get a refresher on some of the happenings.

And good points as well!

They got a dollar back… so not all of it down the drain.

This was great…however, #6 should have mentioned that while following your passions is always a great idea, those passions need to be tempered by reality. #6 does not mention that (and I am sorry for any spoilers I throw out to people who haven’t watched Entourage) the director Vince chose to work with was CRAZY and his beloved project went down the drain, along with all of the money, heart and time sunk into it. So please, if you follow your passions, please be realistic and also choose people who are trustworthy and have a reasonable amount of sanity to venture into your passion with!

Great post! Entourage is a fantastic show – and it’s so entertaining what you have written here about their LACK of financial finesse

FUn article. Virtually everything they do on the show from a financial perspective is the wrong choice. There are so many examples. Its fun to watch a movie star live a charmed life and blow through tons of money, but its definitely not a good role model to emulate.
