• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In today's gig economy of portfolio careers and side hustles, more and more of us are working alone for at least some of our lives. We are the self-employed, the freelancers, the independent consultants and the one-man bands. Responsible for every aspect of our own professional lives, we need at least eight arms to keep the show on the road we are the solo squids. But although you can work alone, you may not know how to enjoy it.

This book is about how to be a happy solo squid how to run your business on your own and thrive on the experience. It is not a book about how to set up a one-person business, and it is especially not a book about how to expand that business to take on armies of staff and portfolios of premises. Staying solo does not mean that you are not good enough or successful enough or imaginative enough to run a larger business: it simply means that you have taken charge of your own destiny and have chosen to run a happy one-person business. If that sounds like something you would like to do, then this is the book for you welcome to the world of the solo squid.

Autorenporträt

My name is Susan Grossey. I graduated from Cambridge University in 1987 with a degree in English, and then taught secondary English for two years before realising that the National Curriculum was designed primarily to extinguish every spark of creativity in its teachers. I then became a technical author, and reached the pinnacle of this profession when I was asked to document the workings of a choc-ice wrapping machine in Cardiff, while wearing a fetching blue hairnet (which I forgot to remove until it was pointed out by a cashier in a petrol station on the M4). From this unbeatable high point I moved into technical training, and one day was asked to help with a staff manual on fraud prevention. As I wrote the chapter on money laundering, I realised that here was a topic that could keep my interest for years - and so it has proved. Since 1998, I have been self-employed as an anti-money laundering consultant, providing training and strategic advice and writing policies and procedures for clients in many countries. As part of my job, I have written several non-fiction books with exciting titles like "The Money Laundering Officer's Practical Handbook". However, this is not enough financial crime for me, and in my spare evenings and weekends I write fiction - but always with financial crime at the heart of it.
