Find your passion but get caught up in the storms of today's economic climate and/or enticed by packages to leave early? If you've found an innovative idea that ignites your passion, I'm here to testify that you can change horses and still achieve your goals. After years of working on creating and launching several innovative eCommerce/Digital Media initiatives from the inside, I then pursued virtually those same goals from the outside via suppliers into the sector. In recent months a deal was secured and launch planning began (it's just Phase 1). AT&T just made their official press release announcement about "ConnecTech". Here are several stories commenting on AT&T's entry into competing with BestBuy's GeekSquad (and Wal-Mart/Dell who beat them to market with a market trial):
