One of the greatest opportunities for personal wealth and career fulfillment comes from starting a business, growing a family-owned business, being part of an emerging business or participating in an entrepreneurial venture in a mature corporation (intrapreneurship). Smaller growth companies have become a significant source of economic growth in employment and new technology, products and services. Virtually all of the net growth in employment in our country since 1975 has come from new ventures and small businesses.

- Engage in intrapreneurship, i.e., develop new products or programs or evaluate and pursue potential merger or acquisition candidates within a mature corporation.
