Do You Have an Authority Problem?

June 16, 2011

Let’s face it:  you may have started your business because you have an authority problem.

You may or may not have been the one who suffered from it. 

Maybe you were oblivious to authority figures as you were growing up – you just “marched to the beat of a different drummer.”  If so, you suffered the consequences.

Or perhaps you were the rebellious hellion – and are now experiencing as a parent what you dealt out as an adolescent. 

Many entrepreneurs solve their authority problem by becoming the authority:  “Ahh, I’m in control at last!”  Only to realize that they still have to submit to authority:  that impersonal, heartless reality whose rules they have to decode.  The Marketplace.

Political philosophies aside, that’s the ultimate accountability for the entrepreneur.
