​​​​​​​This is one of my favourite quotes. No-one really knows who first wrote it although its widely attributed to Oscar Wilde. 

Whoever it was, it rings truer than ever in today’s world where a similar phrase has been coined: 

                    The New Autonomous Individual. 

That describes a person who is able to function perfectly in the digital world. 

A person who has the skills that allow them to thrive across multiple disciplines.

They could be affiliate marketers - selling all sorts of products online or owners of e-commerce stores, marketing consultants, leaders, intra-preneurs...... 

They can create multiple businesses using little more than their laptops and they can run these businesses from anywhere in the world they want to be. 

This is a new kind of freedom which until recently has been unavailable to most people 

Now its available to anyone.  

And the best thing is that it absolutely celebrates individualism - unlike the traditional world of business and employment which actively discourages individualism. 

That system much preferred conformity to a rigid set of rules 

It preferred controllable, worker bees who unquestioningly did what they were told, behaved in approved ways, didn’t have ideas of their own  and even wore uniforms.

People who were prepared to exchange their time for an amount money decided for them by someone else. 

That system - that world is fading fast (thankfully) 

To be a ‘New Autonomous Individual” you just need to recognise the skills needed and get them 

But where? I hear you ask - RIGHT HERE 

Cheers!
