Publisher's Synopsis

The new economy is rapidly becoming a free agent economy. Today, one-third of all American workers are free agents, and in the next decade the percentage will rise even more dramatically. Whether by default (downsizing is here to stay) or design (job dissatisfaction is at an all-time high), more and more of us are becoming free agents.

In Free to Succeed, veteran career coach Barbara B. Reinhold offers invaluable advice on:

* The 10 Essential Strategies for Succeeding in the New Free Agent Economy
* Discovering Your Free Agent Profile: Rebel, Imagineer, Philosopher, and more
* The 7 Steps to Free Agency
* How to become an "intrapreneur"-creating start-up ventures within your company
* Developing a "sidecar" venture to satisfy creative needs and help transition you to a more rewarding career

Plus
* sixteen in-depth exercises designed to motivate and guide your transition to free agency, resource listings, and more.

For entrepreneurs, "intrapreneurs," small business owners, artists, writers, freelancers, and anyone seeking more creative options, Free to Succeed will help you achieve greater fulfillment in your career and your life.

About the Publisher

Plume

Plume

Plume was founded in 1970 as the trade paperback imprint of New American Library. In its early history, Plume focused primarily on nonfiction titles, publishing approximately 35 titles per year. In the early 1980s, as trade paperbacks were rapidly becoming the format of choice among a large segment of book buyers, Plume began expanding its reach, and became recognized as one of the pre-eminent trade paperback imprints. The 1980?s saw Plume make its mark with a number of major bestsellers, including Toni Morrison?s Tar Baby, Erica Jong?s Fanny, Russell Baker?s Growing Up, and Gloria Steinem?s Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions, among others. Now, in 2014, Plume is publishing 85 to 100 titles a year, and its backlist currently encompasses approximately 700 titles.
