About this audiobook
Despite grim headlines about the economy, you don't have to stay in a job you intensely hate. There's a better opportunity waiting out there, and escaping from cubicle nation is easier than you think.
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 businesses. 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?"
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.
This audiobook includes Pamela's very best material, based on thousands of conversations and reader submissions. It provides everything you'll need to consider 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 very 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.
Get ready to learn your real options, make an informed decision, and maybe, just maybe, escape from cubicle nation.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really liked this book. This is not my typical reading selection, but it proved to be simple and practical advice.Maybe one day I will find the avenue to put it to use. Until then, I'll just be happy with the daily 9-to-5.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The goal of this book is to convince you that you can quit your 9-5 job and start your own company. Pamela Slim does a great job. She highlights why it will work and why it won't. I listened to the book and found that I wish I had a paper copy for later reference
