Champions are relentless and are motivated from within as I share in my post http://nosmokeandmirrors.wordpress.com/2010/09/03/what-does-it-mean-to-%e2%80%9c-play-life-like-a-champion%e2%80%9d/

When I work with clients I often have the team create a "passion statement " as I discuss in my blog http://nosmokeandmirrors.wordpress.com/2010/05/24...
People today do need that emotional passion, so why not intentionally set out to build it?

You will not be out of work long, hang in there.
I wrote the most important thing you can do after working with a boss you describe in my blog : http://nosmokeandmirrors.wordpress.com/2010/06/18/what-should-you-do-if-you-report-to-an-%e2%80%9cass-kicker%e2%80%9d%e2%80%a6forgive-them/

The ability to forecast the project time is definitely rare as team members often use their gut and not real data.
Another issue is not having a launch plan and cross functional team. So all the different silo's report in but no one is herding the cats.
A clear understanding of your market and its buyers is one of the key building blocks most projects lack.

Before you even get to build your projections, make sure being an entrepreneur is for you.
I wrote a eBook : 50 ugly truths of starting your own business....so those considering start up know what to expect. You can download a free copy off my blog at www.nosmokeandmirrors.com .
Once you clearly understand what you are jumping into, make sure and create projections based on market truths.

We learn more in our challenging valley experiences than the times everything is running smooth.
So I can not agree more.
You need to intentionally create "creativity confusion" to create new though muscle.

What most businesses fail to do is connect to a passion statement as I discuss in my blog : http://nosmokeandmirrors.wordpress.com/2010/05/24...
Focus on the impact you make for your customers, the problems you solve for them.
