I started the job hunt this week. But today it feels as though the world web is conspiring to push me back into entrepreneurship:

• First - I read this essay by Paul Graham (quoted in the post below) - which got me thinking about prestige, money and doing something that I actually love
• Then - I read Seth Godin’s Small is the new big which inspired me to start another online enterprise and gave me hope that small firms can not only make it - they can thrive
• Finally - to top it off, this quote from Picasso was on Tom Peters dot com when I visited there: “Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.”

Well that’s great. Just great. What am I supposed to do with this information? I’m a sucker for inspirational literature and I read it all the time. The common theme seems to be this: you have to do your own thing. You can’t be afraid to stand out. Try to do something really special. So why am I searching for jobs that will mold me into a company man?
