Adam,

This is a lesson I learned while I was very young and think that it is a rather prevelant attitude among entreprenuers.
I think that this is the best way to get anything worthwile done.

In fact I think that there are way too many people who are scared and or obsessed with following the rules. I personally struggle with how to create a culture of openess, without barriers , red tape, and rules that restrict our progress and inventiveness.

Would we have the light bulb or telephone if Thomas Edison had asked permission?

Adam,

Great, great post. I couldn't agree more.

I'm glad you guys agree. Great point Aaron - I know that for me personally I was taught to "obey the rules" when I was younger so it was tough for me to flip and start doing things a bit differently.

If you need to ask permission for every little thing, you'd have a bureaucracy, which is a 4 letter word to an entrepreneur. Do what you think is right and well intentioned and you can always defend your actions afterward.
Good luck.
