If you are working from the cubicle and you dream of becoming an entrepreneur, why not start as an intra-preneur and test your abilities?

One of my preferred bosses, at the time I was () a banker, had prepared those 10 commandments. What do you think??

1. Come to work each day willing to be fired
2. Circumvent any orders aimed at stopping your dream
3. Do any job needed to make your project work, regardless of your job description
4. Find people to help you
5. Follow your intuition about the people you chose, and work only with the best
6. Work underground as long as you can, publicity triggers the corporate immune mechanism
7. Never bet on a race, unless you are running in it
8. Remember it is easier to ask for forgiveness than for for permission
9. Be true to your goals, but be realistic about the ways to achieve them
10. Honor your sponsors

Before launching my own business, I remember working for so many companies where I wore about 5 different "hats" each day. I was always about the entire project, not the small role I could have played.
Running myself around like that made it so easy to slide right into my own business, where now I need to be 10 things every day!

#1 is the one that took me a long time to be able to do. I had a tendancy of falling into a corporate rut and became dependant on my position. This led to me being a loyal "no questions asked" automiton at the complete controll of my bosses only to get laid off due to corporate down sizing. I was let go with all of my emmediate superiors hating the fact that I was going, but not to the point any of them faught for me to stay.

 I now do just that, I look at every day as if I could be fired. This serves as a kick in the pants to finalize getting my business self sufficiant.

I think there should be something about how you work for you...not for someone else.

No matter what you do, what kind of job you have, you chose that job because YOU wanted the money! YOU wanted to do the work, get a reward, and use it to get on with your life.

"I`m offering my services here. I`m not a slave."

That might make a good addition. :-) It brings to mind the idea of respect. People get apathetic and do a lousy job, figuring they deserve the money anyway. Then they complain that they don`t get no respect! How`d they forget that they don`t *have to* work there?

Jobs aren`t a fact of nature! They`re the result of an agreement between two people: the employee and the owner of the company. Each agrees to provide a service. The employee agrees to do stuff, and the employer agrees to produce money in exchange for that stuff.

And yet so many people stuck in cubes seem to think the money is being drilled and extracted from the ground below the basement of the building. The bosses keep most of it, and whatever leaks onto the floor somehow gets distributed in a "fair and equitable manner." Unh-unh...that`s not how it works.

I was lucky enough to play both entrepreneurship roles. Entrepreneur - as a co-founder of EyeView; Intrapreneur – as the intra-founder of INTENTclick and it’s Managing Director (similar role to a CEO of INTENTclick if it was an external startup). They each have different challenges but I found both to be equally rewarding. Here is a quick comparison of the two - www.yanivnizan.com/2011/11/what-is-intrapreneurship.html
