Building a Portfolio Career: How to Create a Portfolio of Roles to Suit Your Work and Life

by Colin Mc Crudden (Author), Adrian Bourne (Author), Chris Lyons (Author)

Synopsis

This is a practical guide to setting up a portfolio of part-time business (and non-business) activities to make the most of all your special talents and interests. The portfolio life is the answer to today's changing world of work. It lets you take control. You decide how much to earn, how many hours to work, who to work with. Packed with examples, case studies, and focused practical advice, this book shows you how to unlimit yourself by becoming a Portfolio Professional, and gives advice on which of your talents to use and how to apply them. As Charles Handy wrote, the portfolio life is 'a portfolio of activities - some we do for money, some for interest, some for pleasure, some for a cause - the different bits fit together to form a balanced whole - greater than the parts'.
