    We all want to do remarkable things, and lead remarkable lives. No one wants to spend the day engaged in mundane productivity in pursuit of a meaningless consumer existence. Certainly not you, right? So why do we find it so hard to break out of our rut and do truly innovative things? Because it's hard. Because it often requires us to significantly alter our perspectives and step outside of our comfort zones. It's almost like becoming another person. I Know This Because Tyler Knows This… If you haven't seen the movie Fight Club (or read Chuck Palahniuk's excellent novel), I won't spoil the fantastic plot twist where we come to understand who Tyler Durden really is.

But believe it or not, this is how I've been running my businesses for the last 10 years. I used to actually feel guilty because I wasn't constantly "getting things done" at a maniacal pace, even though I was enjoying increasingly significant success each year. It's only been in the last few years I've realized that this approach is essential for entrepreneurs and creative professionals of all s

  • create an organization that means something to its people if that organization has no life beyond the next project or contract.
