About this listen

The work environment has changed. While a few years ago you could land a good job and run it for the majority of your life, nowadays we all live in a continuous update cycle. We need to constantly change to keep up with the world, otherwise we are left behind. This is a necessity. And, since it's not a viable idea to land a lifetime job, why not turn yourself into a one man company, running your own freelancing business?

The gig economy is exploding. Small and big companies are always looking for reliable, skilled and flexible people for a short term cooperation. Sure, short term is short term. But it can be extremely well paid and very profitable. And, in the gig economy, you're not restricted to a single client: you can work with multiple clients, building a reliable business on top of your passion - and be paid extremely well to run it.

I am writing this review from a new perspective

I am writing this review from a different perspective. I am retired and just recently started a new “Gig", actually I have two: one paid and one not paid as a volunteer. author,s book was very insightful and gave me ideas to think about going forward with both Gigs. Her exercises in the book are not only for the young. I feel I can utilize them as an older Gig worker. I will take her suggestions and implement them into my own situation. It’s never too late to start new things.

Great advice for successful freelancing

I highly recommend this book, especially for millennial looking to find identity and meaning in their jobs. I am a young professional working at a corporation (quite the opposite of gigging). My friends and I frequently discuss how to find work life balance and passion in our careers, but we are risk averse and unsure how to navigate life outside of the structure and stability the corporate world brings. Author maps out how to build a successful career in the gig economy. This book is practical and provides many steps and exercises to think about how you can build a career as a Gigger. She uses her experience from teaching and a wide array of real examples to validate her suggestions. I'm reevaluating my life after listening this!

A guide to a life I never considered for myself

As a young professional who has come to a fork in the road, The Gig Economy was an eye-opening read. For those unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the idea of the gig economy, the idea of custom-crafting your own path can be daunting. The author recognizes that there is no one-size-fits-all solution for listener,s and the exercises in the book -- meant to guide listeners to their own answers -- are both thoughtful and accessible. For so many of us who do not have personal role models to follow into the new world of the gig economy, author brings her own experience and expertise as well as the insights and experiences of so many more. The result is a book that will show you a wide range of possibilities and challenge you to make the choices and changes necessary to lead a more intentional, more fulfilled life of your own design. This is a book and an author that I will continue to come back to in the future.

A must listen for any working person

I bought this book thinking it was only for recent grads, but I was still curious. It turned out to be a fantastic listen that has made a significant change in my life. I lost the fear of being on my own and not having job security, and it opened my mind to a world of possibilities. While listening the book, the author suggested multiple revenue sources to build security. One of the ideas was to teach at a local college or university. So I did just that and in the fall I will be teaching my first course. I am excited to continue to apply what I learned in this book and I can say that it is for everyone. Work as you know it is changing, and there is a lot to be excited about.

Poor delivery

I found the reader to be too michamnical and so disconnected from the text he is reading making it very difficult to follow and digest. The content itself is OK but move away sometimes from the subject at hand. To me the value for money for this book is 2 out of 10.

Just What I and My Children Need to Know!

I was laid off from my job about a year ago. And at my age. not really excited about finding another 'job' with its limitations.I'd only heard about 'gig's' and the 'Gig Economy'. This book helped explain it in the detail and level I needed to help me set my sights on a desired career change ! And since the workforce, jobs, and the economy is evolving, my children (the next generation) will benefit from its teachings and information.And I will gladly share it with others of my generation -- especially those who, like me, are facing eroding jobs and benefits in corporate America.
