Rachael Novak gave this talk at Weapons of Mass Creation Fest 2012 in Cleveland, OH.
"You can't count on the right opportunities to come to you, so sometimes you have to get creative and make them yourself. I've built a niche for myself in the design/handmade community that I wouldn't have without pushing myself beyond the 9-to-5, and I've never looked back. You just have to be hungry, bold, and a little impatient — so that nothing seems like it can wait for tomorrow."
