3.5 stars.
As a contractor working in IT Consulting industry, this book had a lot of golden nuggets for me, even though I don’t neatly fit into the book’s definition of a solopreneur/freelancer.
Chock-full of tips and tricks, including the popular prioritisation techniques (Urgent/Important quadrant), productivity techniques (pomodoro, etc), and many more, this was a book useful for anyone starting their solo journey. And I’d say it would be good for established solopreneurs to review the book once every few years as well, as a reminder.
Yes, this book didn’t have any ‘secret’ to impart, and there was no earth-shattering findings or revelations, but all in all, a good practical reference book to have.

Just finished reading 'The 1 Minute Commute' by Robert Gerrish
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
I wish I had read it before starting my solopreneur journey - rather than taking years to learn it all piece by piece!
Even though I'm now 5 years into my business, this book still contained some key tips I'd never considered.
Highly recommended!

Not to be confused with a book in the "one minute manager" series, unless you want to be disappointed. Although I don't currently need this, I'd consider coming back to it if I was thinking of kicking out on my own again. The nuggets of info could be distilled onto one a4 page, so I'd recommend scanning for what you need rather than wasting time reading the whole thing.
