Where do I get tickets?

BUT… If you’re in the new home of the Being Freelance Community, Book Club is included as part of the ‘Extras’ plan - no ticket needed.
When’s the next one?
Thursday 7th September.
We’re reading “The Win Without Pitching Manifesto” by Blair Enns.
What’s the blurb?
A manifesto of 12 steps that owners of creative businesses can take to distance themselves from their competition, regain the high ground in their client relationships and learn to win business without first parting with their thinking or writing lengthy proposals.
Written to inspire owners of independent creative businesses to rethink how their services are bought and sold.

Here’s how freelancer B. Scott Ellis explained it:
“Everyone should be continually reading, learning, and growing….especially freelancers like us. The Being Freelance Book Club has been a wonderful opportunity for me to expose myself to new books which are geared towards me and my “job” (Can I call it that?). First, we nominate and vote on a book. Then, we take a few weeks to read it. Finally, we all have a delightful, deep dive discussion about it with other freelancers. Honestly, it’s become something I enjoy and make sure to make room for it on my calendar. It’s informative and a great way to meet new people. I’ve become a regular.”
