Book Abstract
In the 1960s, rebels staged revolutions to try and change the world. Today, the rebel entrepreneurs who start new companies which break the established rules are the folk heroes of the business world.
Why are business rebels so likeable? Mainly because everyone realizes we live in a time of ongoing rapid change and daring leaders who are prepared to take risks and break-all-the-rules are our barometer to a brighter future and a better way of getting things done. In other words, business rebels illustrate the fact you can be yourself in business and still succeed – you don’t necessarily have to conform and do what everyone else has done in the past.
Business rebels who succeed in standing their ground against the voice of conventional wisdom have four personality traits in common:
In the years ahead, those who use the old rule books are going to be increasingly left behind as the world rapidly evolves around them. To succeed and hopefully excel, everyone is going to need to become a business rebel to one degree or another.

Rebel Trait #1: Vision – The Eyes
Rebels make the complex simple and believable. They imagine the future and then articulate vividly what they see in today’s terminology so others can get involved as well. That vision provides rebels with all the guidance they need to know what to do and in which direction to move.
A successful business rebel also generates an organization full of people who buy into their vision. Of necessity, that type of organization will always be quite experimental while people find out what their specific part should be. But above all, the vision will resonate with and inspire everyone involved.
Rebels frequently use three (or more) different methods to communicate their vision:
Visual imagesThey create a simple visual icon which can be used to illustrate and exemplify what the vision is all about. Good and memorable visual icons:
May come from pivotal events in the organization’s past.Incorporate industry-specific objects and shapes.Build on heritage icons and images.For example, the service industry commonly uses a heart as a visual icon. Or Coca-Cola has a unique bottle shape everyone is familiar with. These themes can be integrated into simple graphics that explain the vision. Since people are already familiar with one element of the graphic, they understand how the vision builds on something they already know to achieve something new and impressive.
