Work where you want, Live how you want, and Be what you want to be in 2010
Introduction to the
Untemplate
Lifestyle
Take a deep breath, look around you, and ask yourself this question, “Am I
doing the same thing as everyone around me?”
If
you
are,
then
chances
are
that
you
are
on
the
path
to
the
comfortable,
stable

“American
dream.”
You’ll
spend
your
20’s
in
a
small
cubicle
grinding
long
hours
to

impress
your
boss,
steadily
and
surely
climb
the
corporate
ladder,
and
retire
a
wealthy,

65
year
old
man
(or
woman),
Dinally
able
to
enjoy
life’s
riches:

time

with
family,

travel
,
and
the
opportunity
to
pursue
your

passions

as
a
full‐time
gig.

Is this the life you want to lead?
Cause
the
house
always
wins.
Play
long
enough,

you
never
change
the
stakes.
The
house
takes
you.

Unless,
when
that
perfect
hand
comes
along,
you

bet
and
you
bet
big,
then
you
take
the
house.

Work where you want, Live how you want, and Be what you want to be in 2010
There
are
many
blogs
and
books
meant
to
teach
and
inspire
you
to
leave
your
corporate

existence
in
order
to
pursue
a
venture
that
you’re
“passionate”
about.
Most
of
these

sites
mean
well
and
are
inspirational,
but
they’re
written
by
gurus
who’ve
already

“made
it”
and
aren’t
in
touch
with
your
reality,
or
they’re
written
by
pure
theorists—
people
who
haven’t
actually
put
their
lessons
to
action—they
talk
the
talk
but
don’t

walk
the
walk.
Untemplater,
on
the
other
hand,
is
composed
of

real
people

who
are
in
the

trenches,
working
hard
to
live
the
life
that
we
want
to
live.
It’s
not
easy,
nor
is
it

glamorous.
Below
are

six
real
case
studies

from
twentysomethings
who’ve

done
it.
You’ll
see
our
pain,
struggles,
successes,
and
failures
as
we
create
an
existence

that
we
are
proud
of
and
enjoy
24
hours
a
day,
365
days
a
year.

We
are
MBAs;
we
are
husbands,
wives,
and
fathers;
we
are
scrappy
entrepreneurs,

authors,
and
freelancers.
We
live
all
over
the
globe,
and
we
have
come
together
to

show
you
how
we’ve
successfully
broken
the
template
lifestyle
so
that
you
can
do
it

as
well.

This
Manifesto
is
meant
to
inspire.
Below
you
will
>ind
the
stories
of
six
different

individuals
each
pursuing
the

untemplate

lifestyle—each
a
founding
member
of

the
Untemplater
team—describing
in
detail
the
‘breaking
point’
that
made
us
want
to

build
our
own,

unconventional

lives,
and
what
we’ve
accomplished
in
a
short

amount
of
time.

Remember
this
one
thing:
if
we’ve
been
able
to
do
it,
then
you
can
do
it
as
well.
Join

us
at
Untemplater
and
learn
how
you
can
work
where
you
want
to
work,
live
how

you
want
to
live,
and
be
who
you
want
to
be
in
2010.
