Featured Quote from Chapter 3, Rise of the Human Cloud

She now handles bookkeeping for 36 companies, bringing in $26,000 a month. But it’s not just about the money. She unlocked opportunity well beyond landing a better full-time job. She unlocked a mindset, or as she said, “If one decent thing came out of what happened with my brother, it’s that it was a turning point for me. After he passed away, my thought process changed.” And this mindset unlocked an opportunity beyond what one company could possibly provide. “I would never go back to working for somebody. Not having an employer over my head is the most liberating feeling in the world. I make my own schedule. I choose the hours I work every day and what I work on. I choose the clients I want to work with, and the ones I don’t.”
