dasarg Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I am looking to get more educated on the topic of freelancing. What’s the ONE book you recommend all freelancers should read? It doesn’t necessarily have to be about freelancing in particular – any genre can do as long as it can be applied to freelancing.As for my recommendation, I haven’t really read many business books and haven’t been freelancing for too long but I just finished Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook by Gary Vaynerchuk and I must say that it’s one of the best business/marketing books I’ve read so far and I think everyone here would benefit from reading it. I’ve read his other book #ASKGARYVEE as well but found that it generally just reiterates the same points as #JJJRH.What’s your recommendation? 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneymorgan Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I have no suggestions, I’m not really big on reading books of that nature (or taking courses, or going to seminars).I know some of them have valuable information, but it’d be a pretty bad business strategy for people to actually give away their secrets/tactics/inside knowledge $10 a pop 😋 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helloscoopz Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Me myself is not a good reader, I do get everything by experiencing. That’s working for me not only in freelancing but also in any given scenarios. 😃 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfalexduncan Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Hey there! When it comes to recommending a book that can broaden your horizons as a freelancer, I'd suggest checking out "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. It's not your typical business book, but it's filled with powerful ideas that can apply to our freelance journey. Atlas Shrugged explores themes like individualism, entrepreneurship, and the pursuit of excellence. Even though it's not directly about freelancing, it offers valuable insights that can inspire you in your work and personal life. I have read it three times! The book celebrates the importance of embracing our individuality, taking risks, and pursuing our ambitious goals. It reminds us that our work as freelancers is valuable and makes a difference in the world. Plus, it's truly captivating. It reinforces the idea that a persons value should be derived from the things they produce, which is what freelancers do after all. Happy reading! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miiila Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 A cyberpunk classic, William Gibson's Pattern Recognition. Because we need Pattern Recognition, need to be Cool Hunters, need to secure the perimeter, need to take ducks in the face at 250 knots, need some motivation and identification, and deserve some, on the surface, unproductive chill reading time, too. I often revisit it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
