"Book Launch" Book Review
As you know, I'm planning on releasing my new book in the next months and I'm starting to research all I can about this whole new world for me.
This is why I decided to read book launch and study all that it has to tell me about book launches.
Here is the book description extracted from Amazon:
"Are you struggling to grow your business? Are you tired of trying new things only to have them fail time and time again?
No matter what your definition of success is, each one of us out there has the dream of being successful.
Maybe you want to be an entrepreneur, speaker, coach, or writer. Maybe you just have the dream of making good passive income.
Success of this magnitude does not have to continue to be a dream. It can be a reality.
Book Launch reveals the proven approach that all the top experts and millionaires are using to become successful: writing your own best selling book.

You may be asking yourself:
How is it possible to write, market, and publish your first book? And how could can you get that book to be a #1 bestseller?
How can you use your book to persuade an audience to want to do business with you?
In this conversational, and action-oriented book, Chandler Bolt answers each of these questions and much more through a tried, tested, and proven book launch formula.
As the #1 best selling author of The Productive Person, Breaking Out of a Broken System, and Productivity Hacks for Entrepreneurs, Bolt has personally used every piece of information in this book for himself.
In this how to guide the reader will be given:

What My Life Was Like 7 Years Ago...
Recently, due to the fact that I'm more present on FB due to my Patreon Group and to stay in touch with my amazing community, I'm getting more in touch and spending more time on Facebook.
Recently, FB has reminded me of a memory from 7 years ago, where I worked for a company, was overweight, still had some serious problems and didn't know what I was doing with my life.
And wow... WOW! How my life has changed over these last 7 years. It has changed so much that I decided to create a video talking about that, so that I can motivate you to do the same.
Maybe, if I wanted these changes fast, I wouldn't get so far as I've now. Consistency is definitely the key in getting those major and lasting changes.

The Gig Economy Will DOUBLE In The Next Years... What Now?
"A gig economy is an environment in which temporary positions are common and organizations contract with independent workers for short-term engagements.
The trend toward a gig economy has begun. A study by Intuit predicted that by 2020, 40 percent of American workers would be independent contractors. There are a number of forces behind the rise in short-term jobs. For one thing, in this digital age, the workforce is increasingly mobile and work can increasingly be done from anywhere, so that job and location are decoupled. That means that freelancers can select among temporary jobs and projects around the world, while employers can select the best individuals for specific projects from a larger pool than that available in any given area."
(Source: http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/gig-economy)
The gig economy is expected to DOUBLE its numbers in the next years.
This number raises some serious questions about how we can protect ourselves as a software developer and how earning money will change.
What can we expect from this gig economy? What will happen if this gig economy becomes bigger and bigger?

Do I Need A Prestigious Degree To Get Hired By A Big Company?
This is a question I receive a lot: "John, do I need a prestigious degree to get hired by a big company?".
People fear that they won't be able to get hired by a big company like Google or Microsoft if they don't possess a prestigious degree. Is is true?
Big companies have merely two ways of recruiting people:
1- They use recruiters and get people right from universities. Those are the really big universities, the prestigious one.
2- They get a referral.
If you don't fit on the first option, there is definitely other paths you should follow to get hired by a big company. Bottom line is: No... You actually DON'T need a prestigious degree to get hired by a big company.

"Origin PC Laptop" Review (2017)
As you probably know, I change PCs A LOT. I've had all different kinds of pcs, notebooks and other tech stuff. The latest notebooks I had were all from Surface series, which I also did a review on them.
Recently, I decided it was time to change again, and I decided that, for me to get the performance I wanted, I would have to buy a gaming laptop. This is why I chose the Origin PC Laptop series.
Here is a quick overview on the power of those notebooks:
"ORIGIN PC EON laptops with overclocked 6th generation Intel Core Skylake i7 desktop processors can easily handle a range of demanding tasks, from the latest video games to 3D modeling. With Intel's multi-core technology, your games, applications, and multimedia can run at full efficiency all at once, taking multitasking to the next level."
