Jennifer, I am advocating a cooperative model, but one with shared goals, including making a profit. The current gap is that the corporation is the only model for larger scale business operations. I think that we need new models. I also think that it's not necessary to "do your time" in a corporation before setting out on your own, as many younger entrepreneurs are showing me.

As for the Before Green Gables book; it seems to be getting good press, and Budge is off to the UK next month for a speaking & signing tour.
