Independence Day and the 9 to 5 Jail
Here in New York, it’s a 100-degree Tuesday after the three-day July 4th weekend. It’s the kind of day that makes many a sweaty corporate commuter long for a different way of life.
If you’re thinking about declaring your independence from Corporate America, check out my new interview with Devesh Dwivedi over at Breaking the 9 to 5 Jail for some advice and inspiration. Devesh is a man very passionate about helping entrepreneurs find the resources and information that they need and his site features lots of great interviews with entrepreneurs and experts.
Today, I’m working from the air-conditioned comfort of my home office. However, I spent my July 4th fighting my way through angry, overheated crowds of New Yorkers to view the spectacular Macy’s fireworks from the Circle Line pier. It was totally worth the struggle. Check out our photos.

I love hearing Pam’s interview. She gives so many great tips—such as taking a tiny step each day towards your goals—otherwise you stay stuck. I believe that is why so many people stay stuck—they feel too overwhelm trying to do all of it at once. Tiny steps allows you to become accustom to the idea of being an entrepreneur or whatever goal you are trying to achieve. Great interview.
