No one gives a damn about "I, I, I, me, me, me..."
"I did xyz... and I want xyz... and for me, I want... and I do... and I'm..."
People want, "...for you, can be done... value to you... profit to you... minimal risk to you... incentive-based, so you only pay me as work is delivered..."
People are persuaded by appealing to their own interests. If you give an I/me centric story to persuade a savvy business person to do something, you're instantly getting written off 90%+ of the time. If you can show someone that you can do amazing things for them, they'll choose you and you profit.
Well, the whole conceit of the piece is that the guy is his own horrible boss, but could presumably be as effective working for someone else who appreciates his ethic. The whole thing could be a lot more direct if the goal was to persuade, but then the humor would be lost.
