That's what conventional business wisdom says. Today, in the nineties, conventional wisdom can't help you keep pace with these rapidly changing times, and outmoded ideas can actually lead you to obsolescence and failure. Today, business people have to turn the old rules inside out, upside down, and backwards not only to succeed, but to survive! In this unique book you learn to unlock the creative thinker in yourself, to work smarter, not harder, to explore new and different paths. You will discover how to break the rules of business-and break away from the pack. Most of all, you will become a "Break-it" Thinker, applying innovating principles to your own career, and with this book's unique Victory Log, enjoying the adventurous-and profitable-advantages of Break-It Thinking in your life.
