Book Summary Notes: Escape from Cubicle Nation – Pamela Slim
- If your values and the values of your workplace don’t align maybe it’s time to seek the self employment route.
- What prevents us though from taking the leap? The fear of losing what we have is very powerful.
- Passion is the key to our success. Are you passionate about where you work and what you do?
- Try to maximise your creative potential by keeping something to write in by your side at all times. Our brains are great at having ideas but quite poor at keeping track of them.
- You could try out the authors practice of ‘morning pages’ where they recommend that you start the day by just free writing 3 pages of anything that comes to your mind.
- To find an area that you may enjoy creating a business in, try looking at the intersection of three things. The first is what people will pay you to do. The second is what do you love to do? Finally the third is what do you have natural talent towards?
