Another gem from Seth Godin – ‘16 questions for free agents‘ – helps any one starting out as an entrepreneur / freelancer / project manager, by asking them 16 questions that will guide them to make the most important choice they’ll make.

Here are some of my favourite ones from the list… 

– Who are you trying to please?
– Are you trying to make a living, make a difference, or leave a legacy?
– Is it more important to add new customers or (engage with) existing ones?
– Are you prepared to actively sell your stuff?
– Which: to invent a category or to be just like Bob/Sue, but better?
– Choose: teach and lead and challenge your customers, or do what they ask…
– Do you want your customers to know each other (a tribe)?
– What does busy look like?

 These questions may just mark the beginning of a journey for you.  And, an important one at that…
