Review
Writer and broadcaster Emma Gannon describes the gig economy as the new normal for millions of workers. By 2020, 50% of all workers will freelance or run a side business to earn at least part of their income. Gannon suggests embracing this change. Living as a “multi-hyphenate” – someone who wears more than one occupational hat – multiplies your earning opportunities while utilizing more of your skills, interests and passions. Gannon gives only a general overview of freelancing; other books offer more detail, for example, about the practical nuts and bolts of online branding or budgeting for taxes out of a freelance income. Among her helpful advice is the suggestion to align with your brain’s natural tendency to focus in 90- to 120-minute segments of time. This work-rest schedule can help lessen the chances of burnout. Gannon provides a helpful orientation for those dealing with the quickly changing world of work, those seeking a worthy living in the gig economy and those seeking strategies to future-proof their earning ability.
