I am an entrepreneurial survivor. No, I'm not an entrepreneur. I've spent my career working for them. I've worked for famous entrepreneurs, (at least in their line of business and in their own minds) and not so famous entrepreneurs. I’ve worked for companies that went public, companies that went bankrupt and more than one entrepreneur that went postal. I’ve worked for a boss who threw office furniture, and in an office where the furniture was repossessed. And that was just a typical Tuesday.

One day I came to the realization that I was living my own personal "Groundhog's Day." The names and faces had changed, but the unconventional behavior, temperments and challenges of each new entrepreneur boss was eerily familiar. So now I write about it. Letting others know what to expect from the seemingly unique yet utterly predictable entrepreneur boss. You can find me at www.workingforwonka.com
