CEO of my own private little major corporation

Write the Script for Your Year like the CEO of a Major Corporation.

Sole traders: think BIG, ok.

A lesson I learned some years ago from a couple of people, including the motivational and sales speaker Brian Tracy, was to see myself not so much as a solo operator or freelancer, working from home as - to use Tracy’s expression - the President of my own personal service corporation. My first reaction was that this was fanciful (probably not the word I used, but you get the idea). But the concept grew on me. And now it sits very comfortably with me.

Maybe I could go with Editor/Director. Rather fanciful, to put it mildly, but that’s partly the point. That particular idea comes from an old web design pal of mine, Justin Fox, who goes by the title Designer/Director, when wearing his web designer’s hat.

Such titles also invoke a little of the latter day slash career ethos at the same time as well.
