I just started reading Unscripted and decided to check out the community more in search of kindred spirits than looking for major change. I am a former attorney in my mid-50s who rejected conventional expectations in my 20s and have lived more or less "unscripted " since. I took my daughter out of school in 8th grade and home schooled her through high school while we traveled around the country and learned through experience and she dabbled in various career paths. I got my favorite "teen idol" from my youth to work with me on a short book about him. I'm not rich and arguably not an entrepreneur--I'm a freelance writer with a few other more passive offerings attached to my business--but I make a comfortable living in part-time hours, work only with the clients I choose on the projects I want to work on, and have no conventional ties.
I am looking to expand my entrepreneurial endeavors now that I have one foot in retirement, and to help my daughter (now 23) who is working on building a business. But, most of the reason I'm here is that the early part of Unscripted (all I've read so far) is all about breaking free from things I ditched nearly 30 years ago, but am still being asked to justify by many "conventional wisdom" disciples.
