Sun, 30 Nov 2008 07:39:04 +0000 http://www.escapefromcubiclenation.com/?p=37#comment-538 while i was again reviewing my options to move from my extensive scientific career: 2 M.Sc., 2 PhDs, 3 Postdocs, and Assistant Professor, track, i was aiming to use the skills as analyst in investment banking, hedge funds, creative publisher, graphics designer, consultant, IT expert, I have realized that all of these jobs are much worse than what i do now ... uups ! while i cannot tolerate my current job anymore, it looks that i will not be able to tolerate other cubicle jobs even more. so again i thought that having own company is perhaps what i should do and fast, until i lost my momentum in life by consenting to too much rubbish. Over the years several great ideas for interesting new companies were crystallizing in my head and now it is nearly ready. I just need 1-2 other people to do it together, as some of the skills needed i shall never be able to absorb - i do know my limitations in some areas very well; this is compensated by some of my strong sides which is my clear advantage. How can i find such people is a big question? while i was again reviewing my options to move from my extensive scientific career:

I read his The Art of the Start and loved his direct, pragmatic ideas. I am brand new (<3 months) to the blogging world and have a lot to learn. My passion is ideas and one of my two sites is called "Quixoting - A Quest for New Ideas". I use it to release my new ideas to the world and to inspire others to take action on theirs. I've added you to my blogroll there and now follow you on Twitter, get your feed. Look forward to reading more! Hi Pam – Thanks for the write-up on Guy’s book.

That's what's most important to me. It's a bonus that he does it without BS and with wit.
