Quick ANNOUNCEMENT - If you are apart of my community, Join my chat (I will be giving away surprises real soon)
We need to have a real conversation.
Not about quitting your job. Not about becoming an influencer. Not even about starting a business.

Ask yourself: “If no one told me what to do this week, could I still create impact?”
If not—start fixing that.Build your own playbook.
Start a Notion doc. Call it “What I know that’s valuable.”
Fill it with insights, strategies, systems you’ve created. Watch your confidence and clarity go up.Go public with your thinking.
Start a LinkedIn series. A newsletter. A series of voice notes. Doesn’t matter the format.
Just share how you think. That’s what sets independent operators apart.

Not middle managers. Not checkbox employees. Not people who “just do what’s asked.”

So what does that mean for you? Let’s break it down.
Independence Is the New Promotion
Here’s what top employers (and emerging startups) are quietly looking for:
You think in outcomes, not tasks.
No one’s going to tell you what to do. You have to show up with the strategy already thought through.You own your learning.
If you don’t understand AI, that’s your problem to solve—not your employer’s.You treat your time like an investor.
Meetings? Projects? Everything has ROI now. The people who survive this era will think like solo consultants—even if they’re W-2 employees.

Freedom to build what matters. To say no.

You're a strategist, a system, a signal of value.
Let them treat you accordingly.
Until next time,
Resa
