There’s a better opportunity waiting out there, and escaping from cubicle nation is easier than you think.<BR><BR> Pamela Slim spent a decade traveling all over the country as a self-employed trainer for large corporations. She was surprised to find that many of the most successful employees at these companies harbored secret dreams of breaking out to start their own business. They would pull her aside after a meeting and whisper, “I would love to work for myself, but have no idea how to get started. How did you do it?”<BR><BR> So Pamela started a blog—Escape from Cubicle Nation—to share her experience and advice. Soon, questions and stories poured in from corporate prisoners around the world. As her blog gained popularity, she also interviewed some of the brightest experts in entrepreneurship on topics from finance to branding to marketing via social networks.<BR><BR> This book includes Pamela’s very best material, based on thousands of conversations and reader submissions. It provides everything you’ll need to consider before making a major change—not just the nuts and bolts of starting a business, but a full discussion of the emotional issues involved. Pamela knows firsthand that leaving corporate life can be <I>very</I> scary, especially if you have a family and other obligations. Fears and self- defeating thoughts often hold people back from pursuing an extremely gratifying solo career.<BR><BR> Get ready to learn your real options, make an informed decision, and maybe, just maybe, escape from cubicle nation.<BR><BR> 6248629 30 4 2009 Escape from Cubicle Nation: From Corporate Prisoner to Thriving Entrepreneur total:55|5:19|4:18|3:14|2:3|1:1| 55 216 152 18 6072133 1591842573 9781591842576 47 17 3.93 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256062340m/6072133.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6072133.Escape_from_Cubicle_Nation_From_Corporate_Prisoner_to_Thriving_Entrepreneur 5 0 false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 10:55:12 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 10:57:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 6072133 1591842573 9781591842576 47 17 3.93 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1256062340m/6072133.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6072133.Escape_from_Cubicle_Nation_From_Corporate_Prisoner_to_Thriving_Entrepreneur 5 0 false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Oct 20 07:11:18 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 07:13:07 -0700 2009
