About this audiobook
This no-nonsense guide addresses the questions that people might feel too embarrassed to ask about going freelance ... like how to raise an invoice, submit a tax return, claim expenses, network, and use social media. Fiona also details why working from home is proven to have a positive impact on productivity and mental health, and why so many women are making the leap into freelancing out of necessity. Filled with must-have information, helpful check-ins, and a strong focus on understanding the whys just as much as the hows, Out of Office will help you dive into freelance life and push you to the next level, while making sure you're taking time to reflect on your business and state of mind.
