Thumbsup Re: The Wealthy Freelancer
Okay. I did it. I spent some of my limited hard-earned funds and purchased this book based on Janine's review.

This book lives up to everything in her review...and more!

One thing that I have struggled with is my rates. This book put things into perspective for me, gave me a new way to look at setting up my fees, and sent me on my way to come up with my new fee schedule (not implemented on my site yet, but will be soon). I am also charging full speed ahead with other very helpful information in this book. Maybe it is because I am a web designer that this book really hit a home-run for me - I could relate to every single "secret" in this book.

Sure, I love to do administrative tasks/projects, too, but my main source of income is from my passion, web design. But, the great thing is I can set up a fee schedule no matter what service I am offering! And, I can also use every "secret" in this book no matter what service I offer.

Janine, you talk about "ah-ha" moments...this book was chock full of 'em for me, too! Too many to mention here without giving away the whole darn book.

The only downside to this book was that it kicked my problem with insomnia into high gear! I couldn't put it down.

Another great thing is the book was on sale at Amazon, so I paid less than what I was expecting to. This was a pleasant surprise for a struggling VA...but on her way to becoming a "wealthy VA" due to the invaluable information and thought provoking insights in this book!

Hey guys, seriously, this book is a superb one. I am so glad I took this leap of faith and have it in my arsenal of VA tools. This was the second book I have purchased based on reviews here, and I have got to say that this book leaves the other one in the dust...literally!
