I did not like how long it took to ship from England.

This book helped me organize my life better!

Kudos to Emma Gannon, It's really a great book and she did a fantastic job in covering all live scenarios, like emerging technology and fiancial issues faced by people globally. And also tips on how a person can self identify his or her potential, which can be used as source for side hustle.

Accessible and honest; The Multi-Hyphen Method combines personal and contributor experience with practical advice and actionable tools applicable to any industry or wherever you might be along your journey to becoming a multi-hyphenate (while we're on the subject, I ADORE that term and love how Emma encourages you to truly own it; whatever it might look like, or you might aspire it to look like).This is not a self-help book, it’s a much-needed acknowledgement and validation of the challenges and barriers facing ambitious women for whom the single “job”, 9-5 mentality simply doesn’t allow them to reach their full professional potential or give them the creative freedom/flexibility to shape a meaningful life around the things that truly matter to them. It’s not a one-size-fits all solution, nor does it profess or need to be. Emma sets no precedent, imposes no expectations, avoids all unintentional pressures that can so easily be felt when reading about the redefinition of your life in some way (particularly, but not exclusively, when career development is the focus), makes no promises, presents no “quick fix”.As open and empathetic as pragmatic and solution-orientated, Emma is humble enough to admit that she doesn’t have the answers whilst so emotionally invested in the reader that even so she’s able to find a unique point of connection that instils a sense of personal empowerment; both proof points and - perhaps more importantly - hope that you are genuinely capable of finding your own.Every step of the way, she’s your ally, your advocate, your rationale, and brings in a community of like-minded professional women who have defined their own concept of multi-hyphenate working to support her own experience of doing so.It's an absolute case of “the good shit sticks” (credit to Cal Fussman for a pearl of wisdom that you simply cannot argue with), and this book certainly will. Buy it, use it, reflect on it; RETURN to it. Emma is as wonderful a person and trusted confidante as she is inspiring as business woman and role model: the ENTIRE time I genuinely knew she had my back, and the back of every single other person who had picked up the book because they wanted to give themselves the opportunity to do what they loved, however falsely "incompatible" these things may be / have been deemed by the convention we have been drip fed over our professional lifetimes, and be damn successful doing it too.When we talk about leading the change, THIS is what we mean.

Good book by pigloo house seller .... polite seller...on time delivery... would buy again frm them if needed :)!!!!

"I loved hearing these stories [mini case stories], especially how different some of the mixes are and how they make it work...there is no one-size-fits-all solution nor one answer, it's a personal and individual set-up, but there are lots and lots of people who are making it work and mixing and matching their careers. And you can do it too."This is a work and career guide with a difference because it celebrates various strengths skills, encourages flexible working and dividing up your working week over two or more roles or projects (which may seem unrelated but actually are unlikely to be). A hobby or pastime can become a paying 'side-hustle' in a 'gig economy' if you want it to be. The world has changed dramatically with the amount the Internet is in our lives and with the increase in self-employment, but the world of work has been surprisingly slow to changes, with office hours originating from post-Industrial Revolution factory and daylight hours. Whilst many are looked down on for choosing to have multiple careers and ways of working, Gannon argues it works and leads to greater fulfillment, using more skills and providing income security.There are chapters on success and failure, different generations and their different motivations (so interesting), the rise of the Multi-Hyphenate, the work-life blend (not balance, which Gannon and others argue is outdated and unachievable), connections (including avoiding loneliness, imposter syndrome and networking) and finances. There are diagrams and checklists throughout to encourage the reader to consider how their career path can benefit from the Multi-Hyphen lifestyle.Onwards and upwards, this is a particularly useful guide for freelancers. Even working part-time in a flexible (for childcare) but traditional role in the public sector, I have learned a lot reading this. It is an encouraging gem of a manifesto for flexible, modern working. "Let's not be afraid to be many different things."
