Out on Your Own

By Robert W. Bly and Gary Blake

Book Overview

On Your Own is a thought-provoking, realistic guide to the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of self-employment, written for the millions of people who aspire to it. It's a pragmatic examination of the psychological, emotional, social, and financial pressures that face fledgling consultants, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and cottage industrialists. It identifies a five-step sequence that leads them out of the corporation and into success in the venture. The steps (dreaming, assessing, planning, escape, and life after the escape) are described thoroughly, an entire section being devoted to each one. On Your Own includes checklists, case histories, quotations, and lists of resources compiled by two men who have actually done it: doubled their incomes within a year after leaving their organizations and setting out on their own.

I can do it

This book successfully gives you what you need to find out if being self employed is possible. It authur gives a much more reallistic comparision of what it takes to make it. All the more newer and recent book on the subject just tell you what you want to hear. This one really prepares you with hard fact comparisions.
