Review

As a freelancer, Path of the Freelancer is a must read. It's a brilliant piece of work I glean from and recommend to all my colleagues. It will be my go-to-guide for years to come! --Allison Miller, Speaker and Author of Desperate for Love

I've read "Path Of The Freelancer" in its entirety and recommend it to anybody that's looking to start freelancing - in any field - and also to those who already are freelancers. Jason is extremely perceptive and is filled with valuable insight that he regularly pours into others in an effort to help them. This book is his attempt to do that for those that he'd otherwise not be able to help. --Keith Taylor, Professional Freelance Photographer

With the right balance of personal experience and solid business advice, Jason has written a comprehensive guide to achieving freelance success. Infused with memorable analogies and infographics, The Path of the Freelancer appeals to a variety of learning types, and remains engaging throughout an impressive amount of content. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is either getting into freelancing, or ready to take their current business to the next level. --Co-founder, Harpoon (Financial Software For Freelancers)

About the Author

Working with his uncle's animation studio, in high school and shortly after, Jason Scott Montoya worked on projects for PBS, Discovery Channel and several museums across the world. The day after he and his wife returned from their honeymoon in 2005, they packed up everything and moved on a leap of faith from Arizona to Atlanta. He graduated in 2008 from the Art Institute of Atlanta with a bachelor's degree in media and animation, attempted to make a feature film, launched a political news website, ran a marketing agency, and had four kids in 12 years. He's a follower of the Way, the Truth and the Life, a husband, father, teacher and storyteller. He believes in sharing good, and not so good, stories from his journey as a way to process ideas and inspire others. In his journey, he's personally experienced and seen others experience the life of surviving in isolation. In these times of need others helped and inspired him when he needed it. As a result, his personal aim is to inspire others to a place of thriving and togetherness, which means living in healthy community with others. One where his relationship with God, family, community and country are lived out as a positive example. An example others would aspire to.

Now a full-time freelancer, Jason originally moved to Atlanta in 2005 with his wife, Cait. He attempted to make an animated feature film, launched a political news website, graduated in 2008 from the Art Institute Of Atlanta, and owned a marketing agency for seven years.

He's also one of the three originators of IDEMA, a framework for capturing and sustaining ideas, and the author of a parable titled The Island Story.

In his journey, he has personally experienced and seen others experience the life of surviving in isolation. In his times of need, others helped and inspired him when he needed it. As a result, his personal aim is to inspire others to a place of thriving and togetherness.

What does Thriving Together mean for Jason? It means living in healthy community with others. One where his relationship with God, family, work, community and country are lived out as a positive example. An example others would aspire to.

Jason is a follower of the WAY the TRUTH and The LIFE, and he lives in Atlanta with his wife and four children, Madison, David, Judah, and Elihu.

4.0 out of 5 stars How to Optimize Your Chance of Thriving in Freelancing
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2017
Jason Montoya offers his readers a practical decision-framework and roadmap that they can use to launch a thriving freelancing practice. The wealth of actionable pieces of advice that Mr. Montoya gives is also useful to freelancers with an established practice.

To his credit, the author is very honest about what he has done both right and wrong during his professional, personal, and spiritual journey. The experience that Mr. Montoya gained at Noodlehead Marketing, that he founded and then shut down, clearly helped him in successfully transitioning into freelancing. His expertise in marketing communication was clear to me when I had the opportunity to listen to a presentation that he gave recently in Atlanta, GA.

Importantly, the book under review is also useful to the clients who pay for the expertise of freelancers. Freelancers and clients have a significantly higher probability of building a win-win relationship if they have a better appreciation for their respective needs.

In summary, the Path of the Freelancer stands out as a practical guide that freelancers and their clients would be wise to consult regularly.

If you're looking for a more faith and community oriented path in freelancing, you might like this book.
However I found it all heavy going, its few good business ideas padded out to fill 274 pages.
