What Customers Say About The Anti 9-to-5 Guide: Practical Career Advice for Women Who Think Outside the Cube:

The worst of reading this book was the sing-song-y, forced hip talk that does make for faster reading, if you know what she's talking about, without constantly having to stop and think about it. Lots and lots of helpful info for newbies and oldies like me, making their way back to freelance living, after falling off the wagon for corporate America's perceived charms (like regular paychecks). True, this book is clearly aimed at 20 and 30 somethings, so this old goat just had to plod along at times--often very tiring. The best of reading this book was getting up to date networking ideas, legitimizing spending part of your work life doing something "safer", for example, working half-time in a "cube farm." I have not only come to appreciate that mind-numbingly boring part of my work week more, but also to take secret pleasure in watching others suffer, that is, those who have yet to reach (look toward reaching) the higher plain on which I now live--with plenty of time for my creative side business. And the bills do get paid. Also not all the advice is all that appropriate to the older set, but then we're wise enough to adapt what we can and disregard the rest.So overall a good read, full of helpful ideas and tips. Recommended.

Fun and quirky, with the right amount of advice, tips, and reality check. Thank you.

This book seems like it would be ideal for a young woman who still feels stuck pre-career, almost pre- adult life. Since I am solidly in the beginning of my "non 9-5" career, the information contained was nothing new. I was hoping for information that would support my lifestyle, rather than just help to get one started.

Not only is the design fun, casual, and appealing, the author's voice and writing style make the book both approachable and also impossible to put down.My favorite parts of the book include the summary in list format at the end of each chapter, as well as all the anecdotes and profiles from other successful female business owners. When I think of books on being your own boss and running a business, I imagine stuffy old text with boring design and content that wouldn't relate to me either on a generational basis or as a woman. This book defies those stereotypes. I personally wish there would have been more graphic design related stories in the book as it would have related to me even more, but honestly the stories and quotes all share the same basis of inspiration and goals for women wanting to start their own business.I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to start their own enterprise. You will not be disappointed.

This guide is a great way to think through all the ramifications of "living outside the cubical" BEFORE you commit to that lifestyle. The advice is concrete and practical, and extremely helpful for taking your dreams out of your head and putting them into reality.
