This is an excellent book for self-examination and real-life advice from a couple who has left the office for the road. There are lots of questions and exercises to help you decide if this might be right for you. The only reason I knocked off a star is that I was expecting more of a practical how-to guide, given the title of the book. That said, the book is well-written, interesting, and worth a read. I will likely purchase other titles from this author. ~ Helena R. ★★★★★ A Great Read! Very fun! I really liked this. I've been doing freelance for a few years myself, but I never get tired of hearing some tips and tricks. It can be hard to push yourself to try something new, but Hudson showed that it can be more than worth it! I know it was for me, so seeing someone else's story was so nice. Everyone can take something from this book!! If you're not much of a reader, then great! This is an audiobook, so you can just plug in your earbuds and work around the house as you listen. Or you can play it in your car. Anyways, if you're even considering freelance in the slightest, pick this up! Any potential van lifers should definitely check this out too! You can learn a lot about making money on the road, and you can see that the life you want to live is achievable. It's not some distant dream. ~Maureen Bonatch ★★★★★ Great book for those looking for work freedom!

The links and summaries at the end of the book are great resources, and really help provide those resources you'll need when preparing to make a change. Sometimes it can get overwhelming trying to dig for all of that info. Having it prepared for the reader is definitely a plus. This book had a nice flow and it was playful, which made it an enjoyable read! ~ Sydney Halperin ★★★ ★★ WFH - Work Flexibility & Honesty (aka work from home) I think everyone who's company refuses to let them telework needs to read or listen to this book!
