Here’s a list of 3 great books to read when you want to work from anywhere:
1) Be a Free Range Human by Marianne Cantwell
From the very moment I found this book, I was in love with it. I completed the entire workbook on the nights and weekends after work (even reading it in my car on lunch) and began my journey to leave my desk job and start a freelance writing business, which I did. The author has a great story herself, and exposed why escaping the cubicle is much easier than most people think. You should absolutely read this book if you are interested in working from anywhere.
2) The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss
This is one of the most prolific books about earning a living through passive income, and for good reason. The author is incredibly motivational and inspiring. The book provides some great tips on being more efficient while working as well, which is why I loved it. I very rarely set long or short term goals before this book, but since I’ve read it, I absolutely do and it’s been life changing.
3) The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber
I’m really into books that talk a lot about the kind of life that you can set up with passive income through the internet, like the two books above. But this book gets straight to business, and I needed that when I read it. This in-depth look at why a lot of small businesses fail taught me a lot about online entrepreneurship, and that makes a must-read for those looking to start their or business or otherwise create a career working from anywhere.
Since working from anywhere is relatively new, this list definitely has a lot of room to grow. Let me know in the comments below if you know of any other great books to read when you want to work from anywhere!
