…Why am I working here?  It ain’t working here

It ain’t worth it here, never gonna persevere…

 Cam’Ron ♦  I Hate My Job

Takeaway 148: Clearly you need to consider strategic alternatives.

….Blinded by smog, getting caught up in the hype

Your single got burned but you never took flight

Five years later we forgot your name

Goodbye, God bless, but we glad you came…..

Rapper Big Pooh ♦ Radio

 Takeaway 153:  Avoid the flash-in-the-pan product.  Are you building a franchise, enterprise, or brand?  Anything else is not worth the investment and we do not expect you to be a contender in the future battle for profits.

…..Blood of a drug lord, brain of a baller

Hand of a hustler, I’m all about a dollar

Everybody’s a customer, nobody’s a friend

Somebody got to do it, anybody can win……

G-Unit f/ Young Buck ♦ Piano Man

Takeaway 119:  Mercenary to some, dogmatically entrepreneurial to others, no judgments here.  We salute the egalitarian nature of this philosophy, because “anybody” can achieve.  The winner, however, is the one with discipline at the margins and singular focus.

Turn around, put your hands on the sink and don’t blink/ If you feel the urge to hesitate, rethink/ It’s clear to me that you lack discipline/ I said to keep it brief, you weren’t listening?

 Mr. Lif ♦ Long Distance

Takeaway 146: Do you have the self discipline to follow your gut – unconscious memory? Think about it….but not too much.  There, BPM saved you from reading Blink.
