The Book


What is the “Breaking The 9 to 5 Jail”?

It’s a book. It is a blue print to successfully escape out of the 9 to 5 cubicle jail and start your own business. This book is an easy to follow guide, that would help the reader assess and evaluate his situation, understand how “not playing, behind the ‘playing safe’ excuse” has been hurting him, weigh his options, consider his situation and work on the escape accordingly. It's a self help guide that practically answers the questions and dilemmas of aspiring entrepreneurs, including the proverbial “when to quit your day job” question and busts some of the popular myths about startups.

How is Breaking The 9 to 5 Jail different than other business books?

Most of the books are written from a start-up perspective and address “How to start a business (business plans, incorporation, funding, taxes, marketing, and strategy etc)?” Breaking The 9 to 5 Jail on the other hand has been written from a pre-startup perspective and it talks about “How to get to a point, where you can quit your job and start a business?” It charts the ‘employee to entrepreneur’ transition. We all are unique, so are our situations and so should be our plans. And this book truly follows this principle by allowing reader to help himself through numerous exercises, worksheets, checklists, and most importantly tips from successful escapees, after each section.
