I learned a lot in this ebook even though I have read some pages yet.

As far as I'm concerned, this is the "bible" for successful freelancing. One book one author. The one stop shop. Awesome.

I started reading the book shortly after receiving it and find it hard to put down. Many of the ideas and concepts described in the book I've already applied and have shown immediate results! The book covers every aspect of becoming successful in your own business and truly encourages entrepreneurs to find that passion inside. I highly recommend it A+++!!!!

I am a freelancer for the past 8 years. I just read the first 50 pages and felt like i was looking at a mirror. Coz Burke nailed it very clearly about the facts of freelancing which i have gone through all these years. I am excited to read more...

A very easy to read book that is NOT just for the web industry freelancers.
It contains many thought provoking topics that you may not have thought about as you enter or continue as a freelancer.
I didn't necessarily pass the freelancer test but still continue on my freelance path with the support of this book.
Of all the business books I have read I would definitely recommend this to someone thinking of going into freelancing and it is a book that I keep and refer back to along the often bumpy ride.
Best of all its for me is that it is written by an Australian.

I just bought this book before three days from the great sale at Melbourne office.(A BIG Hi to all the nice and friendly people there)..
I don't need to comment on the content of the book beyond a simple "it's excellent"
I advice everyone who want to fly solo to use this book, it's organised and well structured.
The book takes a real world view of freelancing using relevant examples and giving useful advices.I liked the tips about life balance.
I have purchased many of your books in the past, and I am always satisfied. They are always presented in an easy to read format, and they look very presentable. I have gained a wealth of knowledge from them, and look forward to many more in the future.
