Autonomy (aw-TON-uh-mee) — from the Greek for “self” + “law” — is freedom; independence.
Example (as used by Rich Schefren today): “When I made the decision to develop a business that would give me the autonomy to spend more time with my family and friends, I went with the one thing I knew I could ‘hang my hat on’ and pursue with a passion — helping others do the same.”
