Pam Slim of Escape From Cubicle Nation gave a talk at Google headquarters in CA earlier in the week, which offers listens a wide range of career change ideas.  As many of you know I am quite a fan of Pam and the work she continues to do around small business startups and ultimately finding your true passion in life.  I continue to find her information practical and enjoyable at the same time.  So of course I was more than excited to find the discussion she did on Youtube today.  If you interested in starting your own side business or exploring other types of work in your life, I would encourage you to take a small piece of time out of your day, sit back, and enjoy the talk on career change ideas:

Pamela Slim is a career coach who focuses on helping people take the leap from corporate employee into the world of entrepreneurship.  She is also the author of a book titled Escape From Cubicle Nation, which I highly recommend to anyone just starting out or thinking about starting their own business.  Pam gave a recent presentation titled Who Do You Think You Are?, which focused on becoming the authority of your niche business and using that to build your success.  The thing I really love about this presentation is that Pam Slim takes the time to show how she went from a low traffic blog to a huge success both online and off.  Enjoy and have a great weekend!  Happy 4th!

I have yet to meet anyone who actually likes working in a cubicle, which only furthers the puzzling question of why businesses continue to stick their employees in such unproductive environments.  Whether your someone looking to become an entrepreneur or just someone who is sick of working in a cubicle, Pam Slim has the answer in her book Escape From Cubicle Nation.  In just over 300 pages, Pam hopes to take you from corporate prisoner to a thriving entrepreneur.  Does the book live up to the promise?  Read on for my full review.

I’ve never been a fan of working in a cubicle, especially the massive cube farms that seem to be popping up these days at many corporations.  I could go on for hours about this, but that’s another post for another time.  In short, I feel that they are actually a very poor concept, unproductive, and a huge morale crusher!  Most people working the corporate lifestyle don’t often have a choice on the matter though despite the proven fact on this issue, and therefore have to deal with such situations on a daily basis. 


Pam Slim is the author of a book called Escape From Cubicle Nation where she writes about getting out of your cubicle, turning on your brain, and working to make yourself wealthy instead of someone else.  I’m currently in the process of reading it now and have enjoyed it thus far.   Pam herself is a business consultant with a proven track record who also is a strong supporter of startups and self employment.  Check out this interesting video where she highlights some of the main takeaways from her book – quite interesting for any entrepreneur out there:
