Michael,

I too, sometimes do things because I’m pissed. Normally it’s because a great majority of people are saying one thing about something, while the reality is something completely the converse (and I feel this overwhelming need to set the record straight).

Very similar drive behind the book “The Entrepreneur Equation,” by a chick named Carol Roth (who rocks).

I have been a nurse for 23 years, I am burned out by the constant beating alot of us nurses get.
I am starting a new business in a resort area that I think will serve well.
I am a servant at heart! I have had people tell me ” that is too hard of work”. “why would you want to leave nursing and do that!”.
I don’t know much about owning a business but you Michael Cage have been so much help and I am learning. Thanks for what you do.

I have just come across this site and have not yet gone through it all, however, from what I have read so far it looks like a great site for start ups and SME’s to visit. Totally agree with the comment about different rules etc. My business is based on an innovation of a marketing/advertising avenue and the core is directed regional business/service providers. It is hard to get the concept across at early stages but having faith in your product and keeping your determination by getting “pissed” or otherwise is valuable

Instead of “they should do this”, they must say, “they should improve this.”

For me it depends on the person if he can spot a business idea getting pissed. Sometimes making yourself pissed gives you a mental block and depression.

Frankly, I just got so tired of being so pissed off … that I couldn’t not do it any longer

I counldn't agree more with the idea conveyed by the article. The truth is that when we are pissed off or angry about something or at someone, we have a lot of energy in our bodies, just like when we are happy and willing to do or achieve something. In the case of being angry, since you want to get rid of the negative thoughts you will focus all your energy to your thinking. And that's when you are more confident and determinant to make a decission or start doing something.
This is so real life!!!
thanks for sharing

It is so true. Whenever you hear yourself saying “they should do this” “they should come up with that”, YOU be the “they”.

Doing something about it what entrepreneurs do. That is an idea that needs to have action taken and moved on. The others are the ones that sit back and complain.

Never underestimate the power of anger as a motivator.
