Glad you all enjoyed it! Jenn–you know I'll look for any excuse to tell people I'm worth millions. And Ashley, that's a great perspective. Why wouldn't we afford ourselves the same opportunity for professional growth that a traditional employer would? Which reminds me, I used to have a boss who'd buy me gift certificates for facials a few times a year. I think I need to make that part of my quarterly benefits package 🙂

Managing that healthy work/life balance is what it's all about, I think. Interesting stuff!

Love this, Yo. We're worth more than money (just like any other worker!). But some of us get so focused on the money that we forget about the other things. An employee at a company is frequently offered opportunities for professional growth through workshops and seminars. Employees are encouraged (sometimes…) to have a healthy work/life balance. Employees are offered all kinds of insurance. Employees are sometimes even offered gym memberships or other incentives for personal health. We independent writers should definitely offer ourselves at least as much as an employer would!

Great advice, Yo! Puts all that self-neglect in perspective.

Lori, I guess you've never seen the tattoo running down my right arm that says (in Comic Sans): ASK ME ABOUT HOW STEVE MARTIN THINKS I'M FUNNY!

Thanks Cathy!

Yo, what a great way to put a writer's worth in perspective. :-)

As most of us are the C-suite, maintenance, and everything in between, we should value that range of assets and do our best to protect it all.

Love it, Yo!
