Are you Tired of the Challenges of Corporate Business?

Guest post by: Pat Olds

Article Overview: Many Top Executives are sick and tired of all the meetings, the politics, the pressure and stress, the lack of job security. What is going wrong with Corporate Business and what you can do about it to replace your existing income and buy back your time freedom. Learn why so many top executives are throwing in the towel on Corporate Business and becoming their own CEO.

Are you Tired of the Challenges of Corporate Business?

As a CEO, entrepreneur and business owners, it's incredibly important for us to stay attune to the world's financial news. The recognition of trends, niche opportunities and the anticipation of economic movements are nothing short of necessities. However I personally, and I'm sure this resonates with the majority of you reading this, have grown tired of the incessant negativity that is spoon fed the masses daily. Many top management executives are tired of the challenges of Corporate Business.

Yes, things are precarious, and there is no definitive, singular resolution for the mess we have found ourselves in. Some of the Challenges of Corporate Business we face today are downsizing, competing globally where the playing field is not equal and loyalty to upper management is almost non-existent. The days of corporate monopolies, disguised as mergers, strategic acquisitions and the like are over. Commercial banking is dead. The days of building business on bricks of debt and the mortar of creative financing are over.

So where does this leave us? Exactly where we should be, reliant on ourselves.

What I propose is that we begin to shift this doomsday, limiting perspective into one that actually celebrates the opportunities this "calamity" has presented. The reality of the situation is that the structure of our larger global system was flawed, and needed massive renovation. Would we have preferred it happened differently? Of course we would. The painful byproducts of corporate irresponsibility, imperialist arrogance and simple greed have touched us all in some manner.

But the momentum has begun, and is ready to be harnessed. We exist in an age where the dissemination of information has created a more democratic and equitable platform for global progress than ever before.

Strangely, no one really discusses with as much fervor about how bad things are, what actually pulled us from the first depression, or the recession of 2001. Entrepreneurs. Innovation. Risk takers. Half of our current Fortune 500 companies were started during a recession. What does this tell us? Well for one, sometimes its takes somebody skinning their knees a bit to get them to stand up and do something different. Two, as the old adage goes; "every problem is an opportunity in disguise."

As a leader you have learned to think outside the box, you've taken calculated risks, you've learned which battles to stand up and fight for and which to let simmer and take it's own course. You've made sacrifices to your family, your personal lifestyle. You've proved to the world you're a success, a doer, a person of action. People trust you and follow you. You have a large circle of influence.

Because of the dues you have paid at your finger tips you have an amazing opportunity to create a new chapter in your life.

Re: Fashion - Nana, At you choice you may choose to research the fashion industry a bit more. There is obviously a Business side to it as well as a creative side to it. Find out all the types of roles that exist in the industry. Some that come to mind merchandiser, Window dresser, floor plan organizer (someone needs to determine the layout of a retail store to best sell the goods), fashion consultant (Yorkdale mall has fashion consultants that take you around and tell you what looks great on you - you also get a cut from the sales). This is what I've observed from the business side, you may know more. All these roles I've written about will help you grow as a business person and make the contacts in the industry...possible stepping stones. But further more you'll also notice that you need to develop some business acumen possibly tailored to the fashion industry. When I was at Ryerson I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur someday too. I knew I needed some basic business courses to get a foundation to build from. I was in a Tech/Business Major (I'm sure Fashion has something similar - Fashion/Business Major) and then started to create my own minor. Here are some of the courses I took: Marketing, Law, Entrepreneurial, Management, consulting.. and a few more . Also, I'm sure that within the Fashion Major there are also courses you have to take where you can use your creative side and create designs. Typically within a Major there are focuses you can choose - ask the program coordinator. Your next step is to do some research. 1. Visit Commercial retail outlets like H&M, Banana Republic, or jacob. Tell the Manager your doing some research for University and would like to know what types of Corporate roles exist aside from the roles on the retail floor (like sales associates). If she asks you to elaborate then you can use some of the roles I mentioned above. 2. With this information in hand you can visit the Ryerson Fashion department and inquire with the Program Coordinator on what focus within the Fashion Degree would help you the most. In my program there were 5 different focuses within the Tech/Business program. Just a quick aside. A good friend of mine too has a dream of fashion. he want to create a niche fashion line tailored to skinny men (I can't mention the style). He's in Business school but not in the Fashion program... He's in International Business but all his Minor courses are tailored to running a successful business ... similar to the ones I mentioned above for myself. I have no doubt in my mind he'll make it 'cos his vision is that strong.
