Essential toolkit that covers the basics

This is a really useful and informative guide that explains everything you need to know to kickstart your freelance career. There are lots of examples, tasks and tips. It's well structured, thereby ensuring you think before jumping in. Some things may appear obvious but that's what I like - the devil is in the detail. My only criticism is I found the author's narration a bit annoying - but narrating her own work does reinforce her working ethos - expanding your horizons and trying new things to remain stimulated (see the Low Hanging Fruit exercise in chap 13).

Hard to listen to

Normally I don't write reviews, especially low stars...but here I would like to share my experience.

I'm really sorry, but I couldn't get through the narrator's voice. A bit dull and slow. I though I can help it with changing the "voice speed" and yes, the 1.35 helped a bit.

But then, the whole time was just a "ping pong fight" between different points of view :

This might sound risky, but I like it because of this
I often do it this way, but others thing it's crazy
I work where I want, but some people like their office

Perhaps I didn't give it enough time, maybe the rest of the content is really great... but I couldn't get there because of this :(
