The Cluetrain Manifesto told us “All markets are conversations.” My guess is that all employment contracts will be the same – a series of conversations between supplier and buyer. As supplier of services, I will have multiple buyers – some serious, consistent, at scale; others transient, partial, fleeting.

Many websites are reprazentin‘ freelancers’ rights and pontificating on their future righteousness, as they take over the world with their nimble, transferable skillsets and deep networking.

So I liked seeing this newcomer to the realm: Side Racket.

Acknowledging and embracing that the most natural way for someone to move from employee to freelance / self-employed status is to test the waters, they are offering a side-of-the-desk service, putting together skillsets and projects in a rather humble way.

If you do not think this kind of mix and match system is for you, at least start preparing your children for it – it will be all that most of them will know.

I guess This Much We Know if my side project. I am building muscle for the inevitable day that I need to stretch myself in multiple new ways.
