Inner Circle Student Pamela Slim Gets Published BIGTIME!

I’m as excited as a proud mama, but for once this has nothing to do with my son! Today is the release date for Pamela Slim‘s new book, Escape from Cubicle Nation: From Corporate Prisoner to Thriving Entepreneur. Pamela is a graduate of my Inner Circle Workshop, and we spent many hours discussing her voice, her material and the development of her book proposal. (Here we are with her beautiful children in Phoenix last year.) You can imagine how psyched I was for her when Penguin bought the book and handed Pamela a very nice five figure advance!

Now the book is here and it’s fabulous–and timely! You’ll be seeing plenty of promotional work on the book in the coming weeks. Pam’s already had an op-ed piece published in the New York Times and she’s got powerful bloggers such as Guy Kawasaki (in fact he wrote the book’s foreword), helping her with the buzz factor. If you or someone you know is struggling with cutting the cord from a corporate job, Escape from Cubicle Nation is a must read. Get it–and help the student surpass her teacher on the bestseller lists! I won’t mind!

NOTE: Many of the connections Pam is using to promote her book were cultivated over a good amount of time. Meeting people is really key to the success of your work. Today’s feature article on networking (below) will give you some tips to improve your networking skills.
