"Love-of-the-Game" Clause

Michael Jordan was the only athlete who had it in his contract, it allowed him to play basketball whenever and where ever he wanted - exhibition games, scrimmages, or pick-up on any street corner. This was the highest paid athlete at the time who asked for the impossible. But for MJ, this was non-negotiable.

Doing things that are unpopular but committing to your "why" is what strengthens your brand and separates you from the competition. This focus will keep you jumping out of bed everyday, high-fiving the lampshade and running to work.

Litmus test every business decision with the "Love-of-the-Game" Clause and notice how you'll start to only work with clients (i.e. staff, customers, boss and yourself) that you really want to work with.

Now revise your contract with the new Clause.
