5.0 out of 5 stars Looking at Freelancing In a Whole New Way, March 28, 2000

By	Kimberly Stancil (United States) - See all my reviews

I first read this book several years ago and found that it provided a fresh look at careers for self-employed professionals in the creative field. It describes fields and specialties I never knew existed as well as some I had long considered entering myself. I found especially valuable the practical discussion of how to get past pschychological issues that stand in the way of self-employed individuals and sucess. I only wish I had taken the excellent advice in this book sooner.

4.0 out of 5 stars The laymen's book of motivation!, November 15, 2001

By	Book Mark (USA) - See all my reviews

In this easy read, George Sorenson lays everything out on the table regarding selling freelancing services.

Telling us what to watch out for and how to overcome challenges, Sorenson is realistic by explaining that freelancers will be blindsided by problems despite their care and caution.

Sorenson is light on helpful tips when dealing with the government, as well as what freelancers may claim by copyright and what is proprietary information when dealing with companies.

This book is a must read for any beginner freelancer or person considering freelancing.
