Greene's restlessness in early employment was not evidence of failure but a product of his temperament: he was a born entrepreneur who disliked overtly political environments and the indirect power games within organizations, and he suffered for violating rules like 'Never Outshine the Master.'

Evidence Quote

I'm kind of a a born entrepreneur. I like working for myself. I didn't like a lot of the games that were being played... a lot of the things that I write about in the 48 Laws of Power, such as Never Outshine the Master, are things that I did poorly, I did wrong, and I suffered for them.
