Competitors formerly known as your employees
Posted by cccastellon on February 9, 2008
I read a bit of blog poetry from Own Your Brand. This piece was written by actual employees who have come to own their brands - by owning their businesses. Their bosses were their strongest motivation to reach out and chase their dreams.
An excerpt…
…our Thursday nights have united us
with entrepreneurial spirit and ambition
with you as the heart of our motivation…
The writers of were driven to put up businesses through their experiences with their bosses. This is probably a constant thought in many an employee’s mind. Good thing that after having endured their bosses,
… we have agreed to disappoint you and your customers
as long as you “boss” us without leading us.
these former employees dared and executed their exit plan. Read the complete poem here.

Thanks for picking up on my piece of blog poetry on employees.
It is amazing how many businesses lose good people by inspiring them to create their own exit plan.
Keep creating,

I believe it’s times like these that drive people to decide - whether they want to own their brands, or to persist under very trying conditions. I thought the poem amusing at first, it turns out the reason I found it interesting was because every line rang true. Thanks for visiting.
Cheers,
