No, my attempts to start my own business have been thwarted thus far, by the availability of cheap overseas labor.

However I work for a company that is quite successful, even though it is privately held. Our owner and president spends his days working on improvements to our product, and other issues that effect the general health of the company as a whole.

By previous job was at a publicly held company, and it was a cluster... (you know what). The CEO was only interested in the stock price. I spent a year working on a major project, and this guy took one look at it after all that time and cancelled the whole thing. I don't think he even knew what we produced. What a putz.

If upper managment could only concentrate on encouraging innovation, and bringing quality products and services to market. Maybe that way the values of companies will come to be based on what they're actually worth, instead of encouraging all the lying and cheating we've seen lately, in the name of "the stock price".
