"The primary purpose of an organization is not to make a profit. It is to help human beings grow, express their creativity, contribute their life-source and make world a better place. The purpose of an organization is to inspire soul."

That's an interesting quote. It may seem a bit in-credible to you. Possibly even irresponsible. After all, how can an organization expect to survive without profit? It has to be primary focus at every level of organization. Right? Maybe.

As you consider quote further, you might also consider some of names on Dr. Secretan's client list. Here are a few of them:

There are numerous myths about free agents. On surface, they appear not to be myths but facts. However, get below surface and these misconceptions quickly crumble. This article will not attempt to debunk all myths, just five widespread ones.

Myth 1: Working for a company is more financially secure than being a free agent

This myth is based on premise that a company provides security to its employees via consistent paychecks. Nothing could be further from truth. Ask any person who has lost their job in current economic climate if working for a company provides financial security.

While it is true that free agent income can sometimes be inconsistent, a free agent is able to work for multiple clients simultaneously.

For example, Sally Free Agent is a web developer and currently has 3 clients. Joe Smith, corporate accountant, works for a Fortune 500 company.

The current economic conditions impacted Sally last month and one of her clients had to abandon their project. While this was not good news for Sally, she still receives income from her 2 remaining clients.

Yesterday, Joe found out his company posted disappointing quarterly earnings and a layoff was necessary to improve company's balance sheet.

Now, let's see who has more financial security. Is it Sally, who recently lost a client and still has 2 different income sources? Is it Joe, who lost his only income source?

A free agent that has a diverse client base is always more financially secure than an employee who only works for one company.

Myth 2: When you are your own boss, every day is a party

Employees in corporations believe that free agents have a relaxed work ethic. They envision getting out of bed by 9:00AM, eating lunch by 2:00PM and then heading to golf course or spa for afternoon. The myth continues following day as free agents get up and do it all over again.

The reality is quite opposite. Free agents typically work more hours and have more responsibility than their employee counterparts. Why? Doing "work" employee does is only one task for a free agent. Other items such as marketing one's services, tracking expenses, and networking are a few of additional daily responsibilities incurred by free agents.

Myth 3: Free agents are immune from corporate politics
