Wow!! Whenever I think I have no choices I pick up this book and reenter the world of possibilities! I love the stories of 'real' people and how they've found their 'perfect work'. They should teach this in schools - everyone needs to know how to do this.

The "Personal Style Survey" really explained how what activities I do naturally are some of my greatest assets. The Directory of Self Employment Careers (1600 + Independent Creative Careers) provided great ideas for making money just by being myself! And that's just a small portion of the book. This is a must have for any one considering the wild, wacky and wonderful world of self employment.

This is the best book in the Edwards' stable. The other books really didn't stand out from the pack. This one is inspirational and filled with stories of folks just like the rest of us who found their perfect work. Finding Your Perfect Work is thought AND action provoking - definately one to be read again and again. I hope they can continue in this way and move away from the formula home business how-to type of books.

As a Career and Business Start Up Coach/ Consultant I help people through the often rocky road to self employment. Now I don't have to do it alone!

This remarkable book by Paul and Sarah Edwards is a must have. It once again proves why everyone else models their work. They are without question the nations experts on Self Employment.

This book will motivate, inspire, spark your creativity, stretch your mind, and help you clarify your perfect work. It also provides great practical information and resources.

I've seen first hand the benefits people get from this book. Believe me, if you follow this process you will arrive at successful self employment!

I highly recommend this book to everyone. Especially if you, or someone you know, has ever had a dream or a passion and just can't see how you might make a living from it. Gift yourself with this one. You'll never regret it!

I was referred to this book from someone in my Trading Circle at LassoBucks.com and it was great. It coincides with what I accomplish with LassoBucks as a powerful bootstrapping tool, but the book helps me to focus on the things that are important, which is independence by starting my own business.

You won't be able to put this one down. Involves a very personal approach to matching your natural talents (you'll get help finding them), strengths (the Edwards point the way), loves, and yes, skills, too, with a wonderful new or redesigned life-work. And, this volume is packed full of advice directly related to help you design your "Perfect Work" and put that plan into action. "Finding Your Perfect Work" put me on the perfect path for me! -Jane Miller, Women's Edge

Through a series of thoughtful exercises, this book helps you take inventory. What are your interests, talents, experiences, education, style, priorities, gifts, and passions? How can you combine them to create a career that reflects you better than any job you've ever had? This book guides you to the answer. This is not a book that gives you a test and tells you that, based on the results, you should be a plumber. Instead it shows you how to create your own toolbox of skills and interests, offers plenty of suggestions and examples, and encourages you to find the right path to your ideal career. This book guided me through a successful career change, and I have recommended it to several friends considering the same.

If you thinking about becoming a free agent or one already, this is a great book on the choices and opportunities open to you. The worksheets in the book are useful in the discovery of your self. With numerous profiles, you can mix and match to come out with ideas and possibilities of variants of conventional work and jobs to some unthought of products or services you could provide. Even, if you are not thinking about changing vocation, the book is worth a read for ideas and possibilities for personal development and growth. You would be surprised at what you will unearth about your capabilities, your gifts, your assets and your passion. It's a kind of book you'd stick on your personal book next to "What Colour Is Your Parachute?". Get the idea - both are 'work support' books!

This is the first book that I've found which focuses on figuring out possibilities for self-employment without basing it mostly on what work you have done in the past. Requires a willingness for self-assessment. Very helpful read in combination with "Changing Directions Without Losing Your Way" by the same authors. There is some overlap between this book and others by these authors, exactly the same stories and advice.

Many looking to start their own business are searching for an easy How-To, without any regards to what they really want and need to fulfill their life. This book makes you examine what motivates you and lets you find out for yourself what would be your "Perfect Work." There are no shortcuts to success and this book makes you think and plan out your own path. If you are looking to seriously consider creating a life-style that lets you control your own career, then buy this book!

I think this book really helps you to locate your true interests and focus in on what you are looking for. It has definitely helped me in my Shaklee business. Get out there and start in; work from home. You can do it! I did.
