Nachum Kligman, Bio

Through Book Like A Boss, I am working hard to change the world for entrepreneurs everywhere.

Someone who is always looking for new ways to impact the world around me, I have spent the last 25 years coming up with business ideas and then developing them through hard work and perseverance. The work that I have done in advanced technology is substantial, encompassing video commerce, interoperable messaging, and four technology patents. I am lucky enough to often see trends sometimes years before they come to market.

Born in Passaic, NJ and raised in the City, I settled down in Israel as an adult. In 1994, I ran my own restaurant in Jerusalem called Gamzoo’s, which was a thrilling experience for me and one that solidified my passion for the business world. For ten years, I worked in promotional marketing as well, honing my skills for generating buzz and capturing people's attention.

After I built a successful career as a business coach, I ran some numbers and realized I was wasting far too much time vetting potential clients – when I could have just sent them a link to all my services plus a booking form, which inspired me to solve this problem. I also realized that there had to be other freelancers and small business owners facing the same challenges, and I saw that entrepreneurial freelancing is the future of our global economy.

The way that I see it, entrepreneurship presents countless opportunities – for creativity, for personal growth, and most importantly, for service. I am passionate about living out my own entrepreneurial dreams and about helping others to navigate theirs. From business podcasts to business books, I am always poring over some new piece of content about entrepreneurship.

From this obsession (and it is that, I freely admit it), I, along with my highly capable partners, launched Book Like A Boss, a platform that enables freelancers and entrepreneurs to offer their services, organize their businesses, and connect with others (clients and collaborators). This is an all-inclusive platform engineered to make it easier for the hustlers among us to earn extra income and take real control of their professional lives. As the gig economy continues to grow, Book like a Boss promises to set a new standard for online entrepreneurship, serving as a simple solution that anyone can use to promote themselves.

Today, Book Like A Boss is being used in more than 100 countries and is available in six languages, and it supports 23 different currencies. There are more than 40,000 users on this easy-to-use platform, and I could not be any more optimistic with regards to what the future holds. As a successful startup business coach who has guided hundreds of entrepreneurs toward their business goals, I know just how important a platform like this is and what a tremendous difference it can make for the people who use it. My goal is to turn Book Like A Boss into the go-to platform for ambitious entrepreneurs online.

In addition to serving as the CEO at Book like a Boss, I am also the author of the book The Frum Entrepreneur - Turn Your Dreams Into Reality, a book about entrepreneurship centered on Biblical values. I reside in Bet Shemesh, Israel, where I share my home with my loving wife and our eight wonderful children.
