Are you a career anarchist?

Career anarchy stems from the radical belief that we can do better than choosing from a preset menu of career options. 

Rather than starting from a reference point of job descriptions, what other people have gotten paid for, and roles that seem like they should offer high status…

We begin by asking only how you deeply, wildly desire to spend your time.

Most people don’t ask themselves this question for the same reason they enter relationships unsure of “what they want”: SHAME. 

Healing your shame about how you make money is one of the most rewarding experiences out there. 

Are you allowed to say that touchy-feely stuff is worth paying for?

Are you allowed to CREATE a previously unnamed market for your gifts?

Are you allowed to make a ton of money doing what is, essentially, art? (My business is my art, if you were curious.)

When a loud whyt dude tells me that what I’m good at and love can’t be monetized, do I believe him? 

Career anarchy doesn’t even feel the need to react to such an opinion, because I’m too busy honing my craft and delivering client breakthroughs. 

I’d say it’s my own empire, but eff that analogy. This is a playground, and you’re invited. 

The day to day of being a career anarchist looks like checking in with myself about what my intuition says I should be focusing on, and opening my world to people I think I can serve in the form of writing and free workshops. 

Then there’s the slowly evolving puzzle around how to backwards engineer the product strategy. 

It’s pretty simple: be visible, and completely myself, explain exactly how I get results as “marketing”, and invite people to work with me who through their own sovereignty have chosen to collaborate towards an outcome I am an expert in. 

Some career anarchists work alone. Some build massive companies. But the process and principles remain the same.
