According to author Kristin Cardinale, people crave salaried jobs because they mistakenly believe jobs like that provide security. “In reality, these jobs may end at any time and reignite the cycle of job loss that people work so hard to overcome,” she says.
In her book, “The 9-to-5 Cure: Work on Your Own Terms and Reinvent Your Life,” Cardinale teaches people to think and act like entrepreneurs.
Cardinale says that in creating their own career, people can achieve freedom, security and satisfaction that traditional jobs can’t necessarily offer. The book outlines a plan that gives readers the ability to work on their own terms and reinvent their life through the launch of a new business, freelancing, consulting or a string of multiple gigs. Cardinale shows readers how to make their skills irresistible to employers and clients and market themselves in unique and attention-getting ways.
The book is available on 800 CEO Read for $14.95.
