A mix between a pep talk and a toolkit- I found this helpful and relevant for self-employed creatives just starting out, or folks who are a few years in like me.

This book seemed to touch more on helping if you tangible items to sell rather than actual guidance with service relate fields. Some good tips but not geared for what I was looking to get out of it.
