Her chapters on the fear that can take over as you walk away from the cubicle world was great and very much needed-I have never read another buisness book that touches on all the emotions you go through when starting your own business.

This is a huge part of running a business and is often glossed over, if discussed at all." I tell you what, when I ventured off and became incorporated to start my company/team back in August of 2006 I was nervous as heck! Here I was about to leave the comfort of my commission based position W/Realty Executives that I had enjoyed since I began my real estate career w/them back in 1994... and go out into the great unknown. I was giving up my one man operation (and the security I enjoyed that comes with making a great living on your own) to chase a dream, owning my own company. Then the day came that I needed to hire my first employee, talk about nerve racking. But, looking back from today, I am so glad I took the leap of faith needed to start your own company (I know you know what I'm talking about Jay ;-) )! In short, I think all books regarding stepping out on your own should discuss in detail the emotional roller coaster that is a THE biggest part of venturing out of the corporate world and doing it on your own. In fact, I think I'll go ahead and buy her book for myself (so I don't have to keep trading books with you Jay, lol) based on your raving review and the thoughts that reading your post provoked in me. And for that, I thank you Jay! *<em>*<em>Matt´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.paradisevalleyliving.com/news/paradise-valley-sales-report-march-2009/">Paradise Valley Sales Report - March 2009</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> “One thing I particularly enjoyed was the discussion of the emotional aspects of venturing off on your own.

I took a look at Pam's blog and found it very refreshing. I love the way she presents the story. I'm very interested in getting my hands on her book. Thanks Jay.
