This book is intended to be both a business and human manual for moving from thinking about starting your own business to actually doing it. If you work for a company and are thinking of leaving, this book will give you a glimpse into the future. If you are starting your own business, this book should help you feel less alone and relate to the changes happening in your life. As corporate managers, we collect data to predict the future so we can make decisions today. This book will give you a sober and accurate picture of the future. It will also offer a sense of "community" for the powerful changes you will experience as you move through the phases of growing your own business.
