We’re all free agents.
You know the term. Management gurus and self-help experts tell us it doesn’t matter if we work for ourselves or for someone else, “we’re all free agents” and it’s up to each one of us to manage our careers because no one else will.
If you “Google” the term “free agent” nearly every citation points to articles about professional athletes. This blog is dedicated to the rest of us, employed and unemployed, who are free agents in the regular world of work. (Too bad we don’t get paid like athletes. That would be sweet!)
Many of us were trained by our parents and our schools to get a good job, stick with it and things will work out. That quaint notion has been destroyed and we now live in a different world. For many of us, this free agent stuff doesn’t come natural. My vision for this site is to provide a compass for regular working people so they can navigate this new world of work.
“Free agent” suggests you’re on your own, but sharing ideas is the most effective way for all of us to succeed. My role is to start the conversation. Comments from the readers are the currency that makes “All Free Agents” a valuable resource.
So, welcome to the new world and let’s get started!
