Another excerpt from Seth Godin's Tribes (something I have noticed in some of my Indiana technology and software licensing clients)...
Look around. You'll see that the marketplace (every marketplace) rewards innovation: things that are fresh, stylish, remarkable, and new.
The fastest growing churches are the newest ones. The best-selling books are always the surprise hits that come out of nowhere. The tax shelter that everyone is talking about is the one based on the latest rulings.
Products and services like those require initiative to produce. You can't manage your way in initiative.
Interesting side effect: creating products and services that are remarkable is fun. Doing work that's fun is engaging. So not surprisingly, making things that are successful is a great way to spend your time.
There you go: Initiative = Happiness.
