Look, I’m just going to say it. Not everybody should work for themselves. Right now, there’s this huge craze about working independently, being self-employed, being your own boss. So much of this came out of the pandemic because people realized they wanted to have control over their careers and not be at the mercy of their employers’ needs. But if you’re looking to take control of your career, becoming self-employed is not always the best solution.

Working For Yourself Gives You More Control (But Is That Right For You?)

Twenty years ago, it was all about getting the corporate job. You didn’t hear a lot about entrepreneurship back then, but nowadays everyone is talking about it. It almost feels like if you don’t do your own thing or own your own business, or if you don’t at least have a desire to do those things, there’s something wrong with you.

Not true.

A lot of people were not built for self-employment. But they also don’t want to go back to the traditional work environment where the employer is at the top and they’re at the bottom wearing golden handcuffs and feeling like they have no control over their career or future. And I get that. I think that’s why 40 million people quit their jobs in 2021—because they’re frustrated. But not all of those 40 million people should be their own boss.

So what do you do?

You Can Take Control Of Your Career Without Becoming Self-Employed

Well, for the last 20 years, I have been teaching people how to become “Workplace Renegades.” A Workplace Renegade is an anti-employer. They’re about empowering themselves so that they can build a decent relationship with their employer. They want to work with the employer, not for them. They want trust and respect. They want to attract the opportunities that are best for them. And it still means working a full-time job with benefits and that structure that a lot of people need. In return, you’re giving the employer what they need.

But you need to understand one thing…

There are seven rules to becoming a Workplace Renegade that will enable you to get a full-time job that gives you the trust and respect you want and deserve so that you don’t have to necessarily own your own company to have control over your career.
