Just How Free Are You

Just How Free Are You This weekend the U.S. celebrated our national independence holiday.   We appreciate the freedom to choose, be, think, live, etc. It is quite a contrast from my last job, where I wasnt free at all. If you dont feel free, whether you have a job now, or you are looking for a job that will not allow you to be free, then perhaps you shouldnt have a job.   Perhaps you should own your own gig. Thats the choice I made about three years ago to stop my job search and move forward with JibberJobber and it has been such a ride!   I cant imagine having a job now, although I work harder now for my new boss (me) than I did when I was the general manager of a software company a few years ago. This freedom is not easy, and not without consequenses.   If you have any thoughts of choosing this route, let me recommend one book to buy TODAY (buy a highlighter and red pen, also, as you should be marking up every page of this book): Ive known Pamela Slim virtually for a few years now I really admire her work and her popular blog (Escape from Cubible Nation).   She is relentless in sharing her message and vision, and helping people see an alternative to the cube life. Not that escaping is for everyone and her book points that out.   What Ive found in her book is a practical reality-check to help you understand what you are getting into she compaires the rush you get from being an entrepreneur to the rush you get from a crack pipe, she interviews the Grammar Girl and learns that she is bogged down with administration (as opposed to focusing on her passion: grammar), and gives the low-down on health insurance and business structures. Its not a hip-hip-hurray, screw Corporate America while I go get rich with my own ideas, rather its an excellent guide you need to read if you *think* this is the direction you want to go. On Amazon the price listed is $17.13 not a bad investment at all considering how much is packed into this 300+ page book.
