I have read a number of this author's texts, and I am always impressed at the quality and the quantity of good, solid research that goes into these seemingly straightforward and simple E books. The writer has clearly done his homework. The author uses great examples to illustrate his points throughout the work. One of my favorite quotes in this book is from entrepreneur Seth Godin, "to stick with something in the absence of progress is a waste."
You see, I was stuck in a dead-end, no advancement, no chance of even getting a raise job. I knew I had to quit, but I was full of anxiety. How would I make ends meet? What would I tell my family and friends? The author gives some great examples of questions to ask yourself before making this important decision. You can quit your job strategically, and the author elaborates on this. Make sure you have enough money of course. Careful budgeting is in order. The author taught me how to strategically manage my free time to venture into new sources of income. As this would be my full-time job after I quit.
The author illustrates an important concept, that of social drag. Society expects one to maintain a 9-5 normal job. Your family probably won't understand when you quit because they are from a different generation. In these times of economic insecurity, layoffs, and outsourcing, times are simply different. As the author states, "Companies no longer maintain loyalty to employees, and therefore employees can no longer maintain loyalty to corporations." The author gives good advice for how to deal with family and friends after you quit. One of the primary things one has to deal with when quitting a job is dealing with all sorts of people from all walks of life asking you why did you quit. After reading this book, you will be well equipped to handle these objections.
According to the author, who quotes a very reliable source, the greatest predictor of heart attacks is not the risk factors you think of, rather it is job satisfaction. We have known this for twenty years. A dead-end job is literally killing you. It is imperative that you move on. After reading this book, and its helpful suggestions, I was more than ready to quit my job. I also like what the author says about the importance of rewarding yourself for a job well done.
