Heheh, I love that image! (I think the Borg are pretty cool.... :))

And it's true.... Actually, most people feel more comfortable being "part of the crowd"....

But often it pays to dare to be different! Take what you know, and apply it to a specific market or industry that you know better than most people, where you can see the opportunities better than most others can....

Break free from the Borg! :)

Yes, I know what you mean....

I can't wait to read it, Duane! I really enjoy your posts.... :)
