The Wealthy Freelancer

Worth reading

Ich bin zwar schon seit 2006 selbstständig und schreibe mit meinem Geschäft immer schwarze Zahlen. Ich habe jetzt als Ziel in den nächsten ein, zwei Jahren meinen Umsatz eindeutig zu erhöhen. Ich bin fest überzeugt, dass mir dazu die Ratschläge in diesem Buch gut helfen. Wobei ich dieses Buch als eine Art Basisbuch mit Basis Know-How einstufe. Zu jedem einzelnen Kapitel, in denem einem Empfehlungen gegeben werden, kann man eigentlich dann noch Spezialbücher nur zu dem Thema noch dazu lesen. Ich empfehle dieses Buch weiter, da man meines Erachtens hier äußerst sinnvolle und pragmatische Ratschläge erhält, auf die man nicht unbedingt alleine kommt.

There are two types of freelancers this book will help - those just starting out and those who have been struggling to achieve their dreams of becoming a wealthy freelancer.If you are just starting out, this is a great resource that will save you countless hours of going down the wrong trail. If you have been at it for awhile but not achieving the success you desire, this book will give you some solid tips and techniques to get you on the right path.The first thing you should get clear about is being a wealthy freelancer means different things to different people. It is not all about money. Money is important and this book has plenty of tips on how to increase your income. But living the life you want is much more important than just making money. So this book has lots of tips and suggestions on how to decide what is important to you and how to balance your work with other areas of your life.The book starts off with a discussion about what being a wealthy freelancer really means. This sets the tone for the rest of the book. It is very important that you understand the realities of being a freelancer, both the benefits and the downside.Then the next twelve chapters give secrets to being a successful freelancer - starting with the most important secret - Mastering the Mental Game. "Research continues to tell us that most people simply do not take the time to set goals and put them in writing." If you are going to be successful, you must get clear on what you want, who you want to work with and what value you are going to bring to your clients.Another very important secret is how to create an amazing buzz piece. The authors go into great detail to explain what a buzz piece is and how to craft one that will attract potential clients. They give one of the best blueprints for creating a USP that I have seen. If you don't know what a USP is or have not crafted your own, you really need to get this book.There are 10 other secrets to help any freelancer move forward toward their goals. At the end of each chapter is a summary - called Wealthy Takeaways- which recaps the important points in that chapter. Also there are lots or additional resources throughout the book.This is a very well organized and written book. It is not based on some theory. It is written as a joint effort of three highly successful freelancers. They each give very specific examples from their own experience. You will get great value from reading this book. Implement the lessons and you can become a wealthy freelancer.

A bible for all freelance workers. You don't have to sit and read it through chronologically but, you owe it to yourself to read all of the chapters; without a doubt. Whenever you are doubting your freelance work, just open the appropriate pages of this book and it will lift you right back up. Awesome, thank you to the authors.
