"Most freelancers begin their self-employment journey with a dream", write successful freelancers and consultants at TheWealthyFreelancer.com, Steve Slaunwhite, Pete Savage and Ed Gandia in their practical and dream business building book The Wealthy Freelancer: 12 Secrets to a Great Income and an Enviable Lifestyle. The authors share their experience and advice generously as they guide new and long time freelancers toward that wonderful self employment dream.
Steve Slaunwhite (photo left), Pete Savage, and Ed Gandia understand that different freelancers hold a wide range of goals for their business. As a result, the authors provide advice for achieving a balance of income and lifestyle benefits from being self employed. Creating and enjoying that harmony between the work world and one's personal life is a key component of the advice presented in the book. The authors stress remaining true to the vision that sparked the desire to live the freelance voyage, and that maintaining its accompanying goals are critical to success. The authors realize that it is all too easy to lose sight of the target, and this book provides the tools necessary to remain on course in both the business side and the personal side of life. By focusing on the lifestyle that is ideal for the freelancer, then the ideal clients and work schedule can be developed naturally to reach the most desirable personal goals.
Pete Savage (photo left), Ed Gandia, and Steve Slaunwhite recognize that more than a dream is essential to becoming a successful freelance business person. There is also the necessity of taking the appropriate action to turn that dream into a reality. With that in mind, the authors share their proven techniques, for building a successful freelancing company, that will keep the business moving forward to profitability and an enviable life. The authors share their four components of a successful freelance business to help get:
* The projects you want
* The clients you want
* The income you want
* The lifestyle you want
With those four factors firmly in mind, and their equal importance for success emphasized, the authors present the methods required to make each of those four core components a reality. When all four conditions are working as one, the freelancer will achieve the dream of self employment combined with an engaging way of living.
Ed Gandia (photo left), Steve Slaunwhite, and Pete Savage leave no aspect of the freelance business uncovered, as they demonstrate that self employment in the freelancing world doesn't have to be one of low income and heavy time commitments. For me, the power of the book is how the authors combine the importance of living the life a person wants while also gaining wealth and a solid reputation as a reliable business person. The book mixes the theory and background of successful freelancing with real world marketing and customer service concepts that have stood the test of time. The inclusion of stories of freelancers who have broken out of the scraping by rut that traps so many start up business, is a welcome and inspirational aspect of the book. Combined with the proven business growth strategies, and the utilization of them on the freelancer's own terms, makes this book a mist read for anyone developing a business in the freelance world.
I highly recommend the essential and business transformational book The Wealthy Freelancer: 12 Secrets to a Great Income and an Enviable Lifestyle by Steve Slaunwhite, Pete Savage, and Ed Gandia, to anyone operating their own freelance business. There is advice and real value in this book for self employed person whether they are new to freelancing, or if they are seasoned professionals searching for better work-life balance. For anyone caught in a cycle of boom and bust workloads, this book is a revelation on how to maintain a steady and profitable flow of your ideal clients.
Read the valuable and idea packed book The Wealthy Freelancer: 12 Secrets to a Great Income and an Enviable Lifestyle by Steve Slaunwhite, Pete Savage, and Ed Gandia, and live the high income, stress reduced freelance business of your dreams. The advice offered in this fascinating book can indeed change your life for the better.
