How is Breaking The 9 to 5 Jail different than other business books? Most of the books are written from a start-up perspective and address how to start a business (business plans, incorporation, funding, taxes, marketing, and strategy etc)? Breaking The 9 to 5 Jail on the other hand has been written from a pre-startup perspective and it talks about how to get to a point, where you can quit your job and start a business? It charts the employee to entrepreneur transition. We all are unique, so are our situations and so should be our plans. And this book truly follows this principle by allowing reader to help himself through numerous exercises, worksheets, checklists, and most importantly tips from successful escapees, after each section.
