Corporation You

A couple posts I've read recently have gotten me thinking about the merits of looking at oneself as an enterprise. In particular, Ben Casnocha's post about upgrading his personal IT infrastructure put my thoughts on the subject over the top and into the territory of writing a blog entry.

As an entrepreneur it makes sense to work this way, treat yourself as business and get the most from yourself. I don't mean this in a harsh or cold way but in a personal improvement way.

Think of your accomplishments as profits, your goals as earnings targets, and yourself as the product. What would you change or do differently in your life if you were running it as a business? From deciding whether you can reduce costs by living in a different place or apartment or changing your diet to reevaluating how effective your current technology use is, there are many ways to examine your life from an entrepreneurial perspective.

Put the same effort into your everyday life that you would put into a new business and the change in revenue may surprise you.
