Management techniques
 
As mentioned in a  previous Ezine,  If you are considering that second career as an 'Evil Overlord', http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html and you think it may be too large of a project to handle right now, then you may want to try a smaller step by doing some 'evil' around your neighborhood on a part-time basis to sort see if you might want to pursue this vocation without a big commitment of time and funds.
