Seth Godin Blog

June 24, 2010

I blog a lot about this subject…This is taken directly from Seth Godin’s blog.  Great stuff.

You are already self-employed….

When are you going to start acting like it?

The idea that you are a faceless cog in a benevolent system that cares about you and can’t tell particularly whether you are worth a day’s pay or not, is, like it or not, over.

In the long run, we’re all dead. In the medium-long run, though, we’re all self-employed. In the medium-long run, the decisions and actions we take each day determine what we’ll be doing next.

And yet, it’s so easy to revert to, “I just work here.”

    Good post.

    I don’t know if you have read the book The 4 Hour Workweek. Great book, but I think for the last couple years since I’ve read it I’ve had a mentality that I don’t need to work hard, I just need to get a magic button so I can work just 4 hours a week. There’s no problem with Tim or his book, the problem is that I’m not ready yet to implement it.

    Seth Godin’s ideas and reminders help bring us back to action plans. What exactly are we doing?
