The inherent motivation of the team must be intrinsic, skin in the game, earn your own pay. THAT by definition not an Employee, but a Director in the loose sense of the word.

I have strong opinions regarding making people powerful, independent - and above all - RESPONSIBLE - as opposed to continuing those peoples' existence as children taken care of by their Mother/Father - the Employer.

Responsibility means Becoming an Adult. Taking responsibility for one's life.

Our economic life promotes infantile behavior: people working for others, instead of working for their own Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose - are a continuation of slavery.

Maintainers of the status quo like to talk about 'creating jobs and taxes.'

I question: why employment? Using available technology, it is theoretically possible to produce a modern standard of living with little effort. Quantified? It means the 7 Day Weekend. Or more practically, a 2 hour work day for basic, rest is Pursuit of Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose. Simple.

So this is why I have a problem with Employees - and I am promoting Partners instead.

Partners work out of their will, not because they are getting paid.

Partners have a deep desire to make a better world - to evolve to freedom.
