A few months ago on a plane traveling back from a speaking event, I met an "airplane friend" who was not happy about his "typical Corporate America job." Although this guy in his late 30’s kept repeating that he was thankful to have a job, he opened up to me as only an airplane friend can. He described his current job as a “soul-sucking, politically-correct wage cage.” In fact, in a country where the Small Business Administration now reports over 60 percent of all new jobs have been created by small businesses, this disgruntled member of corporate America confessed to me that he actually wanted to start his own business. Much to my surprise, after sharing his situation with me, he said, “I've been saving up, but I'm really worried about what happens if my business idea doesn't work."
