Austin talks about being an amateur. Amateurs might lack formal training but they're all lifelong learners, and they make a point of learning in the open, so that others can learn from their failures nd successes.
In summary, Austin suggesed the best way to get started on sharing your work is to :
1. Think about what you want to learn
2. Make a commitment to learning it in front of others.
3. Take note of what others are sharing and what they're not. Fill it with own efforts, no matter how bad they are at first.
4. Don't worry for now, about how you'll make money or career off it.
5. Forget about being an expert or professional. Wear your amateur hat.
Share what you love, and the people who love the same things will find you.
Austin also talks about finding ones voive is to use it. He advocates one to talk about the things that he or she loves and the voice will follow.
The chapter also talks about remembering death. Steve Jobs quoted, "Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything-all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure-these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that your are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose."
