THE ECONOMY OF YOU

By Kimberly Palmer

Check out this excerpt from The Economy of You: Discover Your Inner Entrepreneur and Recession-Proof Your Life

The Economy of You recounts story after story of people who are liberating themselves from financial strain. A deli employee who makes custom cakes at night. An instrument repairman who sells voice-overs on his website. A videographer who started a profitable publishing house on the side. Even the author’s own entrepreneurial journey, triggered by the job anxieties of a turbulent profession and income demands of a new baby. Her self-created series of financial planners, along with extra freelance work, supplied the additional revenue stream she needed.
