Pamela Slim, a former corporate training manager, left her office job twelve years ago to go solo and has enjoyed every bit of it.

In her groundbreaking book, based on her popular blog Escape from Cubicle Nation, Slim explores both the emotional issues of leaving the corporate world and the nuts and bolts of launching a business. Drawing on her own career, as well as stories from her coaching clients and blog readers, Slim will help readers weigh their options, and make a successful escape if they decide to go for it.

Confession, I bought this book after seeing it mentioned ...

October 17, 2016

Confession,
I bought this book after seeing it mentioned in another book. I was actually dreading reading it due to it's length and in my opinion, bland cover. It sat on my bookshelf for three months until I finally made myself begin to read it. Today, I can honestly say this is one of the more straight forward business books I've ever read. Pamela Slim, almost holds your hand as she walks you through each step of becoming a business owner. I was impressed by the detail she provided and the humor she injected as well.
The book is long but necessary. I used up an entire Highlighter in this book and will use it as a reference forever as well as pass it on to others.

Probably the only book you'll need to start as an entrepreneur.

So you are fed up of "working for the man" and dream of striking it out on your own? There are plenty of books out there on the subject that, while they are a nice read (and I've been through a few of them as I look forward to become financially independent myself) they don't really tell things as they really are - nor tell you what should you do if things don't come along as you've planned. (There's a reason why 8 out of 10 new businesses fail within their first year). Pam's book addresses all these issues, in a nice, straight, down-to-earth, buzzword-free way. Granted, there must be more solid reasons to leave the cubicle than "I hate my boss" or "I'd have it easier working for myself" (Surprise: you won't - but knowing that 100% of your efforts go straight to your own benefit should be compensative enough). Do you really have what it takes to become an entrepreneur? This book will make you analyze in depth each and every one of the issues you have to look for if you are considering to take the plunge for good. And it also becomes a handy reference to guide you along the way. Plus, once you realize you are really, really serious about becoming an entrepreneur, Pam offers personal, affordable one-on-one coaching through her [...] website. As far as career change-related books go, Pam's book is arguably the best deal out there.

Without wanting to give out any spoilers, I can share this tidbit: Getting completely out of debt and have savings to cover at least 6 months to a year of expenses (ergo: save like a madman and cut back on all but the most basic expenses) will give you a boost of confidence and security to go out on your own that will be harder to come by if you are living paycheck to paycheck. I can't recommend this book (and its companion website) enough. It's your key to become free. Go get it.

So many great tips and useful pieces of advice

June 11, 2017

This was a surprisingly effective and practical guide to breaking free. So many great tips and useful pieces of advice, my highlighter was working overtime. I practically enjoyed the author's writing style and personal experience. When I start my business, I will be looking back at this book early and often.

This book completely inspired me as I was making my decision to start my consulting company. I especially loved the chapter on fear and mental blocks. If you're contemplating leaving the corporate world for self-employment, do yourself a giant favour and read this book!

A Comprehensive Reference for Entrepreneurs

December 2, 2012

Verified Purchase

Similar to its peers by topic and very different in content, this book can be used as a detailed reference to start a business. What's fascinating about it is that it takes your hand from the moment of polarizing the idea towards endless development. Its also real and puts you in the picture without making your mind fantasise about press-a-button-and-get-rich approach, it puts you face to face with questions you have to answer!. Another thing is that it details every part at a time; it goes through steps, recommendation, opinions from other experts, real life examples and mistakes to avoid. A lot of the material inside the book are useful extracts from other books. A special feature about the book is that the author is spontaneous, simple and has a sense of humour where you feel like you are in a conversation other than reading a book. After contacting the author she made it clear that she was concerned about essential things at which people usually make uninformed decisions which resulted in a huge amount of information, yet very useful. If I would give a title for this book it would be ( From A to Z - The Reality of Running a Business).

Excellent information, excellent presentation

July 3, 2010

This is a very practical insightful compilation of the author's experiences and advice from other experts in the entrepreneurial field. It guides the reader through the maze of details related to starting a business. It stresses the need for money throughout the process, but it also emphasizes the need and value of personal satisfaction in our money making efforts. I'd been working in cubicles for 20 years and the author knows what she's talking about when she describes the corporate landscape of the majority of white collar employees. The book offers suggestions to justify and prepare for the transition. It points out the need for a business plan, financial strategy, personal support system, marketing approach, along with many other valuable ideas.
It's easy to read and easy to pick up later for reference.
