It was almost three years ago to the day that I realized my then current employer was changing course. I analysed this course and determined that my role in the organization would be drastically reduced or eliminated in three to five years.

I wasn't happy with my career. I had oppressive management that thrived on choking the life out of creativity and ambition. One year ago the director of that organization in an all staff meeting came out and said, "Stop asking for promotions or lateral movement. We are all lucky to have a job."

Today I write this article, on a ride in my... Read More

Entrepreneur, Entrepreneur, what does it mean to be an entrepreneur?

Means you’ve had it, your done, sick of ordinary, you must have more!

No bosses, no schedules, how quickly they set in.

It’s fine, we can, we like getting it done.

Recently I went to renew my 37-year membership with AAA. I had not received a renewal notice. I went to the Reno AT&T phone book but was unable to find any listing for AAA. I called the 800 number on my AAA membership card, 800-222-4357. I got a Don, not allowed to give last name or employee number.
