Kiss your cubicle goodbye!

In the movie, "Office Space", big business bureaucracy and the evil nature of a cubicle are turned to a classic comedy. But the affects are real. You feel poorly utalized. Your creaitivty drops off. Your drive vanishes. You work only for the money. That's no way to live.

Don't go crazy for the profit of others for any longer!

If you work in a dead end job towards no means, you have options. This new age of technology, start-ups, and freelancing with low barriers and a high learning curve should be your ground to make money doing something you truly love.

Escape from Cubicle Nation: From Corporate Prisoner to Thriving Entrepreneurby Pamela Slim offers fantastic advice for those that want to start new, for those that want to be independent and be successful.

The book explains your options that don't involve working for someone else. Options like:
- Home based business
- Brick and mortar
- e-Commerce
- eBay
- Franchising
- Licensing
- Multilevel marketing

The book reminds you how easy it is to identify what you should be doing.
Just ask yourself these three questions:
1. What do people pay you to do?
2. What do you love to do?
3. What do you feel meant to do/genetically encoded to do?

Think of the work that makes you feel like it's your purpose!

I'll have more great tips tomorrow and pieces of advice for establishing a small business on your own (remember to check back), but for now here is some food for thought:

Open your eyes!
Look at situations, difficult problems and ask yourself why this happening or how it could be improved and (1) figure out a solution, (2) develop the solution, (3) monetize the solution. Add value to the world with your solution.
