Be your own creator in order to be your own boss

I came across a few words of wisdom on a blog, so I thought I'd share them with you.

Certainly making oneself more employable is a great strategy, but it's only one strategy. Creating value is the key; and those who educate themselves on how to run a business (for example) have the freedom to create value on their own scale. Now, it's the market who decides the value you create, and you're compensated justly every time (I see a LOT of blog posts concerning "fairness" of salary, etc. Fairness is based upon what parties agree upon).

Prosperity implies creation of value. Creation implies original thought; whether applied to a job or one's own 'thang'. Either way, it would be a great challenge and exercise to discover one's own path of creativity instead of only seeking one's greatest advantage within someone else's creative infrastructure.
