I’ve joined forces with some of the awesomest, most smartest Gen-Y bloggers to bring you, dear world, a brand-spanking-new website called Untemplater. It’s a site for college students and recent graduates who are looking for inspiration to change up their careers and lifestyle. Topics range from starting your own business and personal finance, to living a mobile lifestyle and self-improvement.

I often get asked (and even more often I ask myself), “What are you going to do with your life?” Like many people my age, I have no idea whatsoever. Nada. None.  Untemplater goes through and offers some suggestions to answer this question for yourself, to consider the possibilities and realities of living an unconventional lifestyle–a lifestyle that you are in control of, that you are passionate about.

A great introduction to breaking the template is the Untemplater Manifesto ebook.  In it you’ll find case-studies of people (the Untemplater founders) who have broken the mold and are working hard to live the life they love. Although I don’t have a chapter in the book, you’ll see that my picture and bio is in it ’cause I’m an “incredibly helpful intern.”  It is truly a fantastic read; I highly recommend it, especially if you’re on the same ‘Confused-About-Where-Life-is-Going’ boat as I am.  You can download it for FREE here.

Then, once you’ve got an idea of what being an “untemplater” means, you can check out my very first post on the site. It’s quite obvious that I’m such a n00b.

And obviously, aside from visiting the site, you should definitely connect with Untemplater on Twitter and Facebook. If not connecting despite the great content available, you should at least join for the really really cool giveaways we’ll be having this week. They’re so cool, I’m almost tempted to rig the contests in my favor. Just kidding. Or…am I? To find out what those giveaways are, you’ll just have to keep up-to-date with Untemplater! And if the content and giveaways aren’t enough incentive, I should tell you that I’m the one supervising the Untemplater Twitter and Facebook Fan Page, as well as our LinkedIn group and Brazen Careerist network. So be there, or be a square….template!
