When you know yourself, you are given confidence to separate yourself from herd behavior.

If your number one job is understanding yourself, then you will be successful at any other “job.” Self-knowledge is three-tiered: 1) Understanding yourself as a human; 2) Understanding yourself as a unique individual personality; and 3) Understanding your environment.

However, why bother writing so much about it instead of just starting some kind of business yourself? I'm about to and you and other bloggers have been a source of inspiration and knowledge, but still I'm wondering.. Well, perhaps you do and I just missed it.
