James said, “Since being a part of GoHuman.com, it’s changed my life. I’ve met so many small business owners that have enriched the world I live in. They have inspired my own growth, they have rekindled my artistic flame within me, they have dared me to be not good..but great in what I do, each and every day.

”GoHuman.com is not a passing fad. It truly is a family of like minded individuals concerned with the communities they live in, bringing out the best in all, and realizing that we are ONE!”

James, you are truly one of a kind. Thanks for everything you’ve done to support GoHuman over the past months!

In this inspirational article about getting respect for being your own boss, I’m reminded of why I set out on my own more than six years ago to start a business and why I’ve been working the past several months to launch GoHuman.com to empower even more people to do this.

It’s about freedom, respect, standing on your own two feet and knowing that you are responsible for your destiny–as much as that’s possible for anyone. For me, it was about knowing that I alone had a unique way of serving my clients that kept them coming back for more. This serves as daily reminder of the importance of independent professionals and local businesses.

I guess I was lucky to have far more supportive friends and family than this article describes. Tough love is made of people who play devil’s advocate, but at some point if people see the fire in your eyes they should know they’ll serve you best to support you.

As the world gets more professionally diverse, people have more careers and skills throughout life than ever. This is more than a trend. It’s a sign of things to come. GoHuman.com enables you to represent all your talents and passions in one place. But it’s about more than telling people what you’re up to. It’s about connecting with real people near you who need your services and want to promote your great work to others.

It’s hard to find time to take a breath, but here are 5 easy tips for equalizing your independent life.
