The more we work in our own best interests, the more secure we become. The power to choose is the power to say no. As free agents, we are choosing our own work paths - choosing the clients we want to work with and the projects we want to work on. Fear has no place in Free Agent Nation. We've spent too much of our working lives running scared - scared that we'll be laid off, yelled at, or blamed for something that wasn't our fault.
Top performers become great by playing in their own terror-free zone.
The fun in work is the reason for work. As free agents, we are not afraid of hard work. But we like to work for the right reasons. And we no longer work for the wrong ones. We're on our own, but we're not alone.
