Do you feel like something is missing at your Job?  Have you ever wished you could be doing 'something' else? Have you ever felt completely trapped there?

You're not alone.  when asked, half of workers felt they rather do 'anything than this'. Statistics point to 80%+ people are unsatisfied with their career.

This is the only guide that provides down to Earth strategies for limiting the inherent risk in any venture. It bypasses the pie-in-the-sky theories and creates a practical roadmap to help you feel comfortable reaching for your dreams.

The interviews in this guide aren't more rags to riches stories that leave you with unrealistic fantasies. Those are replaced level-headed stories of recent entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs in process describing their challenges and how thy deal with them as they are working toward their dreams.

Toolkit Bonus! Included is a toolkit with four essential tracking tools to help you, document, track, and visualize your path.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tactics for life in permanent beta August 6, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
"Quitting is for Winners" is not going to be your typical career advice book. Many pieces in this genre offer guided self-discovery exercises, analysis and "best practices" for executing career pivots -- and while Snyder offers this material, it serves as context for something more valuable: tactical advice for affecting a transition to a better life. The underlying assumption is that a transition will be intrinsically uncertain -- and that the path to sustaining (personally and materially) work is through action and experimentation. So his approach is to spend less time on questions related to the color of one's parachute, and more time on the questions that lead to concrete change. How will I reduce the risk of leaving my job? How can I construct a "side business" or experiment that enables me to test the viability of my business and my assumptions before leaving a secure paycheck? How can I identify the opportunity that will make me most happy? How do I execute my departure? Snyder artfully mixes intuition, specificity, and execution -- with examples of people who have pivoted successfully. A worthy read for individuals seeking tangible, actionable, and validated steps to navigating career transitions/exits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good guide to transitioning to a better work life August 7, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an exceedingly practical, well-organized presentation of what you need to consider, plan and prepare for before leaving your job and launching into your desired business or career. Unlike many other books on this subject, it focuses you down to earth and encourages you to make the transition with a good safety net, then shows you how to do it.

More About the Author

Stewart was raised in the '80s... when excess was the norm. He followed the sage advice of the time by getting "great" job after "great" job building a "great" career. During his mid-life crisis at 24 years old, he bought the elusive convertible sports car. The condo in the 'burbs followed shortly there-after.

With each passing day, the income grew a little... but his soul shrunk a little. As he began searching for ways to grow that soul instead, he realized his existence in the IT world was simply unfulfilling. Unfortunately, this went on and on... and on... and on. The need to pay for things outweighed the need to express himself fully. Just one more month... just one more year. Just put the shirt and tie on and drive to work, Stu.

After countless self-help books and live-your-dreams website articles... and even more depressing meaningless days, Stewart stumbled on someone in real life who lived their own personal dream... who got up every day happy to go to work... who had a flexibility to do whatever they wanted. It was like seeing a mythical creature that you had always believed never existed.

It was that one person who changed his life. He knew 9 - 5 just wasn't for him, anymore. The beast had served its purpose, but no longer does.

He diligently poured over new career ideas and returned to college for a degree in a different field. He compared his current life against what he really wanted. He reviewed and evaluated financial directions and angles. He created tools to let him make decisions visually and automate calculations. All told, this process took over 4 years.

In the waning days of winter, two weeks before his birthday, Stewart Snyder said good-bye to Corporate America... perfectly content and prepared for his decision. After a brief period of relaxation and decompression, he diligently documented every step he took, direction he contemplated, and tool he created ... and put them together for you in this guide to quitting your job.

Since leaving his "lucrative" job in Information Systems, Stewart's work includes creating Art, designing Websites, engineering process procedures to help people create their own business, creating a process to help others fulfill their dreams, hand-crafting men's jewelry and... the diamond of his existence... being a Valet.

With spare time that he finds whenever he wants it, he spends time attending all of his family's events and making sure he cultivates the beautiful friendships he has. Now, master of his own day, Stewart Snyder yearns to help others find their own personal bliss and fulfillment.

"If I can be that one person that changes a single life, my journey is fulfilled."

-S. Snyder
