I believe that the controlled environment in the eWorkforce has a significant impact on the concept of success.

As I read this article, I found it to be once of the most poignant, articulate, and easy to read articles that I have read yet referencing this new global market that we are in. There were several things that jumped out at me, but as I neared the end and read the statement regarding success, "So they define it daily and then, they experience it for that day. Enough successful days put together one after the other eventually becomes a successful life...", it sent an message resounding through my core. I must become the person this article is talking about! Another thing that struck me is the reality that the marketplace is changing and it will never look the same again. In order for us, as educators, to prepare students or CDF professions to prepare people for the globally competitive workforce we must understand it. We must see it for what it is, don't refuse to be stuck in doing things as we use to do, and propel people forward to be successful by encouraging them to obtain the skills mentioned above.

It is possible to have "an entrepreneurial spirit" even if you are working for an employer. I don't think the new "eWorkforce" will have as much to do with starting a business as it does with becoming the business (ourselves) that we are in. After all, the most important asset of any business is its workforce. That's you and me. And when we are in the business of "being the workforce," it changes how we approach business -- any business! That's a lot to think about, I know ... Thanks again! Thanks, Teresa,

I definitely would like to hear more when you set up the blog regarding the new “eWorkforce.” My school believes in teaching 21st century skills and this article is very helpful in giving a basic introduction and outlining the three basic skills to the new “eWorkforce.” The entrepreneurial spirit is still alive!
