Freelancer's Futuristics Series - Temptation: Unhealthy growth, Debt, Big idea, Leverage etc. Self - immunization

A Freelancer can have many temptations. Some are gross and some are very subtle. Some are time-bound and some are more permanent in nature.

This webinar lists various such gross and subtle temptations and ways and means to make them 'visible' so that we can analyse these with reference to proper perspective and self-immunize from these potential threats.

This analysis will provide a freelancer a kind of mental 'immunization' with regards to these temptations which can potentially cause significant short and long term damage to one's career and growth.
