Customer Reviews

Some good ideas but...
There are some good ideas here for making the most of your freelance career. Yet the book is very American and some of the ideas aren't that practical if you are British. To be honest, it was a thoroughly exhausting read. Makes you want to go out and get a permanent job at any price, rather than sitting at home feeling depressed because you're not as dynamic as the author.

However to be fair if you are absolutely determined to succeed as a freelance, then you will probably manage to keep afloat if you follow as much of the excellent and well researched advice as you can.
