Making a Living Without a Job: Winning Ways for Creating Work That You Love

/

As we enter the "Second Act" of our lives oftentimes we continue to pursue jobs in the same manner, i.e. using the same playbook, that we used in our 20's, 30's successfully etc but may now be working against us.   You'll often hear me refer to pursuing new work/income opportunities vs solely looking for a "job"    While I have nothing against jobs, we show people how to utilize them as one potential income stream combined with various other methods..Freelancing, Consulting, Franchise etc.  i.e. "Making a Living Without a Job"  which has shown to prove profitable, fulfilling and can act as a hedge against inflation and unemployment at the Second Act stage of life.   

To that end one of the pioneers in this strategy is Career Coach and Author Barbra Winter and below are some excerpts/comments from others about her book that although this book will also be listed in my resources page I felt it important to you to view it here as well..

Aug 17, 2012: Michelle is currently reading it I love this book and the workshops she provides. Her ideas and stories of other's successful ventures is reassurring and thought provoking on how to really live without a 9 to 5 job. It has been my new company "bible" this year as it allows me to dream and open my mind to how things could expand and develop in various different directions. Simple, straightforward. Not really a how to on specifics but more of a larger map of possibibilites.

 Debbie Foege rated it really liked it I have to say, I didn't really have high hopes that I would get anything much out of this book, but It came highly recommended from a friend. It really did give some good advice and insight about tools, techniques and mindsets and beliefs you have to have to follow your passion and be successful making money at it. 

I think the best advice I got from this book was the idea of having multiple streams of income. But mostly this book made me feel extremely passionate about finally taking that step to start doing my own thing and to start using my talents for me and not someone else!

If anyone has ever dreamed of leaving their hellish 9-5 job to make a living doing something they truly love to do, this book is for you!
