Full disclosure: We’re fans of pink. Our website is pink. One of the walls in our office is pink. Our business cards are hot pink and orange. And yes, Lauren has pink hair. In the book we talk about bending the typical “business rules” when it comes to being the Boss of You and not being afraid to let your true self shine through as you conduct business your way, whether that means having pink hair or subverting the “skirt suit” into some professional gear that’s more your style. The fabulous Ariel, author of The Off Beat Bride, has a great post up on her personal blog today about rockin’ her own pink locks at her corporate job for Microsoft, for those of us who don’t like to play by the all of the traditional business rules it’s well worth a gander.
So how about you? What are you doing to subvert the dominant business trend in being the boss of you? What do you most love about setting the rules around the office/shop?

In the creative world of work and artists, you have to be yourself. I/ One can never sacrifice my art for what another deems appropriate. That is what non-artists have such a hard time understanding. Be yourself at all costs. In the end, it will pay off.
