We all want it. We claim we have it.

But the concept of independence is a whole lot more complex than one might think.

How independent are we, really?

This is the perfect day to examine your level of independence and to be grateful that there is a grey area.

For, if we were truly independent, where would our sponsors be? Where would our customers be? Where would funding come from? How would we get loans to start our businesses?

You see what I mean.

We need help. There’s no getting around that. And, so, while we may rejoice in the fact that we enjoy freedom, we can never truly be independent.

And that’s a good thing. We rely on others. They rely on us. Just as it should be.
