The world of work is changing and it's about time we not only acknowledge that creating your own income / business is an option, but actually something that is to be embraced. Instead of moaning about the fact that there are no jobs, take control of your life and create the job of your dreams. You're in control. Speak to any successful freelancer or micro-business owner and you'll find that running their own business makes them happier than any job ever could.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
