Dear freelancer,
I am thrilled! This book is a real enrichment for everyone. Whether you are a creative or simply an entrepreneur in your own life.
Who is this book for?
Especially as an author, painter, web designer, self-employed entrepreneur, the book is worth reading…
What does it do for the reader?
Anyone who has read this book understands why there are inner blockages that prevent us from realizing ideas and creative projects. How they manifest themselves and how to overcome them. How to build momentum, overcome obstacles and see (creative) projects through from start to finish.
“Book 1 – Inner resistance – recognizing the enemy”
In the first part, bestselling author and screenwriter Steven Pressfield (author of “The Legend of Bagger Vance”) describes what stops people from taking action and the many forms of resistance that hold us back. He shows us the faces of our inner resistance and you don’t just feel caught out once. Because these resistances are at work in everyone.
“Book 2 – Declaring war on inner resistance – becoming a professional”
In the second part, he looks at how to overcome inner resistance and become a professional. What distinguishes the amateur from the professional. And how to make the transition to professional.
“Book 3 – overcoming inner resistance – a higher level”
In the third part, he explains where he believes creativity comes from and what supports all freelancers in their endeavors.
Readability
The individual chapters are not too long and not too short. They are entertainingly written and enjoyable to read. Even if you don’t have that much time or just want some valuable input in the evening. But be careful – acute danger of addiction! You will quickly get hooked.
Learning
This book will definitely be one of the books I will read several times and in my opinion one of the most valuable books ever written. A must for every freelancer.
It proves once again – valuable books don’t have to be thick tomes. In this book you will find the quintessence of a whole life as an author – with all the highs and lows. It is peppered with anecdotes from the field and real gems of wisdom.
