Anita Campbell of Small Business Trends has a book tip for budding entrepreneurs who need a kick out the door cubicle.  Pamela Slim's Escape from Cubicle Nation is based on Slim's experience as a corporate trainer, and gives workers the tools for making the leap and starting their own business.  Campbell says it provides the "mental and emotional fortitude and clarity needed to make the jump to entrepreneurship."

One of the wonderful things about this book is its target market: it is crystal clear.  It’s for those who have spent their careers in the employ of some other business, but who have secretly harbored a wish to go out on their own.  If you are currently employed in a corporation somewhere, silently wishing as you sat in endless meetings that you could be your own boss but are not sure how or where to get started, then get this book.  You will devour every page of it — and come back begging for more.

I would even go so far as to say that if you’ve recently left the corporate world to start a business (say within the last couple of years) this book will be helpful because it will reinforce your commitment and re-energize you.

It may also prove a valuable teaching aid, in that it hits key steps in potential entrepreneurs' decisions to start their own businesses.  Read the full review here.
