[color=blue][size=10pt]The basics of managing a career are fairly boring. Simple advice to show up on time and provide eight hours of work for eight hours pay is commonplace. While these guidelines are sound rules to guide your career, no rule is ironclad, and the time comes when the right move involves taking a risk.I am not suggesting you go around breaking rules for the thrill of it, but there is definitely a time and a place for bold action.



The men in the list include several businessmen who got ahead by ignoring the rule book. Read on for the unconventional moves that put these men on top, and the rules they broke to get there.[/size][/color]

As a cofounder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg created one of the most popular services on the internet. As its current CEO and president, his creative control seeks to keep the company on top for years to come.

Given Facebook's incredible growth and popularity, many have questioned whether the company could be earning more. In a May interview with Wired magazine, he admitted: “Yeah. I guess we could. There are really simple things we could do. For one thing, we keep advertising pretty sparse. If you look at how much of our page is taken up with ads compared to the average search query. The average for us is a little less than 10% of the pages and the average for search is about 20% taken up with ads… that’s the simplest thing we could do. But we aren’t like that. We make enough money. Right, I mean, we are keeping things running; we are growing at the rate we want to.”


In addition, Facebook has passed on purchase offers and even investments of capital, denying itself higher profits and focusing instead on market growth.

Elon Musk is the South African entrepreneur who found X.com, later changing its name to PayPal. Through the continued growth of the site, Elon remained the company's largest shareholder, until the site's sale to eBay left him a very wealthy man.
[color=green]Rule Broken[/color]: Stick to what you know
Having navigated a financial website from launch to a substantial buyout, many would assume Musk's next venture to be related to finance, or at the very least web-based. Instead, Musk currently serves as CEO of two ventures, neither remotely related to his previous field. SpaceX is a company developing vehicles for space transport (rockets and spacecraft meant to move spaceflight forward). His other company is likely one you've heard of -- Tesla Motors, the company bringing drool-worthy, highway-rated electric cars to market. While both ventures are still establishing themselves, Musk's companies are poised at the cutting edge of future technology. This position gives him the “make-or-break” chance at changing the world he wouldn't have gotten by trying to copy his former success.
[color=red]Steve Jobs[/color]

As the cofounder and CEO of Apple, Steve Jobs has been a mover and shaker in the tech industry for decades. After resigning from Apple in the ‘80s, Jobs continued to work in the tech field, until his return to Apple in 1996 spurred the company's meteoric rise to fame with the iOS line of devices.

Throughout his career, Jobs has passed up opportunities to get in bed with larger companies when it didn't serve his vision. A prominent example was his refusal to make the Mac OS compatible with non-Apple PCs. In his role at Pixar, Jobs was also willing to let the company's profitable relationship with Disney come to an end when Disney would not agree to his terms. Finally, when he returned to Apple in 1996, the company was far from the titan it is today. With struggling profits and market share, Apple was hardly the most attractive position Jobs could get. All of Apple's woes, however, were secondary to the vision he had for the company.
