And if it’s less than 30 pages, should one even bother trying to sell it?

If it weren’t for student loans, I’d walk out tomorrow and go live in a tree somewhere.

James, you should consider hosting a one day speed dating type of marathon event where people sit with you for out of box ideas specific to their situation for 5 minutes. The line would be around the block and a good PR move to launch your upcoming book. Having said this, I believe you are in it more to spread awareness than to drum up sales, but it might serve that purpose.

Another tip for folks is to listen to upbeat music first thing in the day. I defy anyone to listen to Counting Stars by One Republic and not feel like getting a move on.

I had 3 corporate jobs so far and I got fired from all of them. First one, I was moved to a department I hated so I did not work that much, I was really unhappy, I was thinking about resigning but they fired me. After that, another job after 2 weeks of unemployment. I got fired from that one as well, they told me it was a big corporate layoff and it was right, so they told me it was not because I did something wrong. After that, I lived off from parents’ money for 11 months but they said enough is enough so I had to go get another job. I got a high paying job. They fired me after 2 months by telling me: your communication skills suck. Than, I decided that corporate world is not for me, for now I only have a rental property which pays me almost minimum wage in Canada. I am looking forward to become a successful freelancer and get back to school to get my PhD degree but I hope I can become a freelancer and work for my own with only three years of corporate experience.

They left a message on my voicemail. No warning and no reason. I guess I’m in the revenge stage. Hopefully tomorrow I will have an idea of what I am going to do.

I was just fired yesterday after working for a company for 8 years. I am dazed, stunned and off balance this morning. I look forward to experiencing the freedom you speak of.
