Partnership.
You want to make a Widget.
I like the Widget.
I can help you to make it.
It can be Ours.
Let's call it Employment.
We'll define the Widget.
We'll agree what each will do by when.
Let's call it a Contract.
I'm not serving you. You're not controlling me. We're equals.
Creating the Widget.
There will be uncertainties during construction. One or both of us may feel anxious. That may be difficult. It will demand effort from each of us to resolve it to the satisfaction of the Widget. It will be hard.
Let's call it Work.
