Part 2Creative Ownership
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
—Rudyard Kipling
Creative ownership relieves you of dependence. Everything in your life can be taken away from you except for your knowledge, network, and ability. Gaining ownership over these three things will accelerate your progress on the path to Intelligent Achievement. Failing to gain ownership, however, will ensure that you are only ever one bad phone call away from disaster.
