The Escape Manifesto

Beschreibung

Rob, Dom and Mikey were fed up with the corporate treadmill. When they decided to change careers, they looked for a website to help them escape - except there wasn't one. So they started their own. Three years later and they have started a movement called Escape the City. Over 100,000 people have joined www.escapethecity.org in pursuit of exciting and unconventional careers. They are the first online start-up in the world to raise more than £500,000 in investment equity crowdfunding - and they did this entirely from their own membership. The Escape Manifesto is the book that the guys wish they had read three years ago on the London Underground when they were commuting back and forth from their corporate cubicles. It is an inspirational call to action, packed with practical advice and encouragement. If you work in a corporate job that doesn't make you tick and you have ever wondered whether there is more to life, this book is for you. Step off the corporate treadmill - find an exciting job, start your own business, or go on a big adventure. Stop dreaming, start planning and do something different!
THE BOOK BEHIND THE MOVEMENT - LIFE IS SHORT; YOU ONLY HAVE ONE CHANCE TO LIVE A GREAT ONE. BE BRAVE AND START SOMETHING YOU LOVE. Does this sound familiar... You tick all the right boxes; school, university, corporate career. You have a sensible profession, a fancy job title, proud parents, decent salary, pricey holidays...but there's a nagging feeling that something isn't quite right? A realisation that you're not completely fulfilled? Surely you should be as happy as Larry - are you being ungrateful? HELL NO. You want a different life - no spreadsheets, no commute, no late nights at the office. But if not that...then what? That is exactly what Escape The City are here to do - show you what other options are open to you. Escape The City is a community based website built around a simple concept: there is more to life than doing unfulfilling work in big corporate companies. The online platform is designed to help corporate professionals find exciting jobs, start their own businesses, and go on big adventures. The Escape Manifesto is here to support, inspire and encourage us all to make big and brave transitions in our lives. * Examines the reasons why so many people are unsatisfied with the corporate world * Explores the alternatives and the common barriers to achieving your dreams * Advice and support for making the transition to something new and developing a strategy for work and life * Contains tons of real-life examples of people who have made the leap
