I'm currently reading Seth Godin's "The BootStrapper's Bible" and finding it to be an absolutely mind blowing read. As a kid, I was in awe of corporate America and its vaunted leaders. Mark McCormack and Lee Iacocca were my heroes. I came to the U.S and had my career path laid out seeing myself in a senior management position 15-20 years down the road. I'm now in my sixth year running and things are looking pretty good, I have no doubt in my mind that if I keep my nose to the grinding stone, I can achieve my goal. But, people change and their views do too. I now realize that big business isn't necessarily great businesses. My personal peeves are

1. Creativity is stifled.
2. Employees are pigeon holed.

After all the American Dream was not created by Fortune500 companies. I'm itching to break out on my own. I have now been following Seth Godin's blog for a while and found this nugget

Figure what the always is. Then do something else.

Toothpaste always comes in a squeezable tube.
Business travelers always use a travel agent.
Politicians always have their staff screen their calls.

Figure out what the always is, then do exactly the opposite. Do the never.
