Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Despite the exclusion of "self-employment" from the title, the Edwardses (Making Money with Your Home Computer, LJ 10/15/93) have written a highly readable and instructive how-to guide for the individual considering self-employment. The first chapter contains the usual hyperbole about the joys of working for oneself (e.g., "work resembles leisure") vs. the evils of working for others (e.g., "success is based on conformity and control"). The majority of the book, however, consists of a series of exercises designed to generate self-employment career alternatives. Case studies of people who made the transition are salted throughout the text. The book represents a good first step for highly motivated readers willing to expend time and energy learning about themselves and the world of self-employment. Recommended for any unhappily employed adult considering self-employment.?Alan Farber, Northern Illinois Univ., Dekalb

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars LIKE HAVING YOUR OWN PERSONAL CAREER AND BUSINESS CONSULTANT, October 20, 1998
By frensy@aol.com (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best There Is For Determining Right Livilihood!!, October 20, 1998
By dreambrdgr@aol.com (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspired Writing..., February 5, 1998
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.
