We continue our list of supportive books for self-jobbers.
You’ll enjoy reading and working with Making a Living Without a Job by Barbara J. Winter. She’s recently revised it to include more online/internet tips and how to make it through any economy. Winter shows us how to take a passion or interest and turn it into successful and enjoyable self-employment. Her sage advice ranges from why creativity is more important than capital, avoiding common pitfalls of self-employment, and developing multiple streams of income.
So, turn that hunger for tea sandwiches into an English afternoon tearoom. Let people pay for your aptitude at tax-processing. Transform your love of beautiful sacred sites into an altar-creation service. Stop poring over people’s astrological charts for hours on end for free. You get the idea!

This one of my favorite inspirational work-for-yourself books. I haven’t read it for a while and it was an older copy from the library. I should look up the latest edition.

Good to hear someone else praise this book, Gretchen. I like Walker’s personally engaging style. It’s like she’s chatting with me about my work.
