Packed full of real world tips on successfully navigating the waters of ‘self-employment’, 100 Habits of Successful Freelance Designers by Steve Gordon Jr. is a must read for anyone in the business of design or those wanting to be. In a world where many are being economically forced to enter into bona fide freelancing (i.e., being laid-off), or are fighting harder to salvage a business started a few years back, its good to hear from those individuals who have made freelancing a successful career path.

Steve consulted with over a hundred different creative professionals to extract the best 100 habits for running a freelance business. Not to mention pulling from his owe experiences as an independent designer. “I didn’t want to write another business book geared toward white-collar, suit and tie guys or as I like to call them, ’studio heads,’ or write an overly generic book talking about creativity and design. I wanted to create a reference guide for truly independent creative people.”

A compilation of advice on project and business management, creativity, collaboration and more, 100 Habits of Successful Freelance Designers is packed full of illustrations (designed by the author himself), sample work and actual quotes from successful independent creatives! Beautifully bound and a cover design that will not your socks off, this is a great book to read and to show off!
