“The Economy of You: Discover Your Inner Entrepreneur” Book Review

December 10, 2014

From time to time, I’m sent books to review and feature on my Secrets of Success blog. Since this book fits the entrepreneurial theme, I wanted to share my review of it here.

The Economy of You: Discover Your Inner Entrepreneur and Recession-Proof Your LifeThe Economy of You: Discover Your Inner Entrepreneur and Recession-Proof Your Life by Kimberly Palmer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

If you’ve ever been stressed out trying to make financial ends meet, or worried about losing your job, author Kimberly Palmer’s new book provides a roadmap with steps for adding a “side-gig” or going into entrepreneurship full-time.

Starting out by describing her own story of gaining control over her own schedule so she could balance out demands of family life and making a living, Palmer gives her own take on this new economy by showing her own journey.

One of the things that makes this book enlightening is that she tells the stories of many other entrepreneur and employees with side-gigs. Each person has their own reasons for wanting to create a new product or service. Some are following a dream, while others are replacing an income lost through a lay-off or business failure. But they’re all driven to have more control over their lives and create an income outside of (or in addition to) the traditional job market.

In addition, Palmer includes a list of the “Top Fifty Side-Gigs,” and “Five Common Pitfalls to Avoid” along with worksheets and exercises to help you get started. If you’re looking for more control over your schedule, and more freedom to express your passions while getting paid, then this book is for you. Whether you want to become an entrepreneur or create a new revenue stream to add to your full-time job, The Economy of You provides a snapshot into the new economy a new way to look at work. (Received a copy of this book for review.)
