What makes this book even more relevant is the fact that it has been written with Indian context in mind.

The text takes you back to the basics. It breaks down the entire process into smaller steps or tasks which makes it easier for the readers to properly analyze their businesses and accordingly plan and execute different strategies. The feature that makes this book all the more credible is the fact that it contains within itself, author’s insights based on his first-hand experiences.

This book is a unique read and one that should not be ignored by those taking the first steps into the world of freelancing. It is replete with practical applications and the strategies provided in the book are highly customizable. That is to say, the tips and suggestions provided in the book are not limited to one particular individual or organization, you can mould them to suit your needs.

Essentially, the book is a step by step training manual for all those professionals who want to begin or boost their freelance training business. It makes for the perfect read for those who want to move beyond rigid organizational structures and carve out their own path in this field.
