I love it when solopreneurs write the book they wish they’d had when they started. And that’s exactly what this book is. Rodika shares her hard-won experience so you don’t have to suffer. Plus, Rodika knows exactly who she’s talking to; if that’s you, you automatically feel seen and heard. Her advice is precise and relevant for tech workers. Yet, somehow, it is also widely applicable to almost any freelancer. Best of all, she tells the truth about what it’s like to be self-employed, with an emphasis on the mindset shift required, without which success is but a mirage on the horizon. Her focus is on the less glamorous (yet essential) aspects of the freelance life that many ignore for too long — and pay for it! Highly recommended!
