Do you want to escape your confining corporate cubicle?

Do you dream about a lifestyle of entrepreneurial endeavors?

Are you attracted to a place where your "commute" consists of booting your laptop and where every day is casual day?

You're not alone. There is a revolution brewing in the cubicles of corporate America: Young professionals are saying "no thanks" to confining career tracks and cushy pension plans; they want to be their own boss. Give corner window offices, retirement gold watches, and endless weekends at the office back to the yuppies of the 80's. These new entrepreneurs value independence, variety, social contribution and, most importantly, control over their life.

Featured in Newsweek, Kiss Off Corporate America: A Young Professional's Guide to Independence is your road map to creative self-employment, providing tangible resources, inspiration and support for creating your own entrepreneurial lifestyle. Kiss Off Corporate America is the first book to address these changing career needs of the post-boomer generation, proving tangible resources, motivation and support to explore alternatives to the 9 to 5, mainstream work force. Combining information and inspiration, the book focuses on a step-by-step process on how to bust out of a corporate environment. Case study interviews support the tangible "how-to's" with qualitative, motivating examples of the struggles and successes of others searching for a life outside the corporate track.
