Raison d'être

I have been professional trained as an engineer and have a career that span from engineering to software developer to information technology.  During this span of career I saw the industry evolved in such a way that a lot of the engineering and IT positions were outsourced to other countries.  While I have never suffered the humiliation of a layoff, I have gone through the anguish of dozens or so rounds of layoff events and those experiences were demoralizing.  As I read the book The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber, I realize that I cannot stay a technician in the U.S. economy.  I need to develop more entrepreneurial spirit and thinking.  However, that transition to thinking entrepreneurially has been very difficult for me as I naturally fall back to what I have been good at most of my life.  This blog is created with the intention for me to break out of that old engineering mindset and think of how I can develop business ideas and how to become entrepreneurial and to spur myself into action.
