Publisher's Synopsis
When you are considering leaving your job for the wild unknown of "self-employment," the world can be a very lonely place. You don't know what you'll expect or how best to proceed. Escape the Cubicle is a great resource if you're considering the big leap. I wish I had had a guide like this when I made the jump! When you decide to strike out on your own, there are lots of variables you think about like business licenses and taxes. Mark does a great job covering all the variables you probably never thought about. In addition to just the mechanics of moving from employee to self-employed, Mark integrates a "big picture" view of integrating your whole life with the work you love to create an even better life with a job you can keep forever (if you choose to), working for yourself. Escape the Cubicle is a great combination of practical facts, experienced advice, and a desire to help people create a business that meshes with their personal goals. Most people never consider growing personally and professionally at the same time through self-employment. Mark shows you how to do just that and enjoy the process while you're at it.
