Check out My So-Called Freelance Life: How to Survive and Thrive as a Creative Professional for Hire and The Anti 9-To-5 Guide: Practical Career Advice for Women Who Think Outside the Cube by Michelle Goodman.

Anyone who is thinking about working freelance or shaking up the normal paradigm of work in this country, or has already launched a new business endeavor, will benefit from reading these two books. I have only read The Anti 9-To-5 Guide (not just for women despite its title) and it was chock full of useful information and reminders about being your own boss, creating your own career path and surviving as an entrepreneur. It was also easy to read and full of humor – unlike many of the boring books in the how to start your own business genre. I’m sure her latest is just as great.
