You have an idea. You have a brilliant business concept or creative endeavor to pursue. This idea will rock your world, free you from the bonds of your employer, and make you millions of dollars. But then reality sets in. Your friends have negative reactions, you figure ways the business will fail, and you let doubt creep into your mind. Why does this happen? Why do we tell ourselves we are not worthy or good enough to pursue interesting ideas? In Escape the Cubicle, Joe Shaughnessy answers those lingering questions. Will I be good enough? Will I fail? Will I get the praise I deserve? From personal experience, Joe has witnessed failure head-on. He has stared failure in the face and told it to go away. Escape the Cubicle is a collection of thoughts and essays, personal stories from real-life triumphs and failures that will help you on this difficult journey. Because what's most important about our lives, is we all have new ideas - hopes and dreams we would like to achieve - but it is only those who consider themselves brave, who will be able to truly escape the cubicle.
