Publisher's Summary

Have you reached that point in your job where you’re thinking "enough is enough"?

In this book, Christian Rodwell, the founder of Escape the Rat Race, shows that there is a proven process anyone who is currently employed but looking to start their own business can follow. The choices for someone wishing to exit a corporate nine to five job and start a new business are numerous, and this can easily lead to overwhelm, confusion, and over-analyzing the options for so long that you end up taking no action at all.

Finding enough time to fit your new business around your full time job and family commitments will also be a challenge, which is why I've dedicated an entire chapter to show you ways to overcome this.

Not everyone who wishes to quit the rat race and start a business knows exactly what business would be best suited to them initially. This book will help you to get to know yourself better, identify your motives for wanting to sack your boss, and answer the question, "What would I would love to do each day if money were no object?"

Christian Rodwell has been through all of these challenges himself and has worked with over 1000 other "escapees" who are on the same journey. Christian illustrates within this book his process for helping such individuals map out their very own "nine-to-five escape plan", called the five step freedom formula™.

I’ll guide you through the steps you need to take before you identify what your winning strategy is for starting a business you love. At the end of this audiobook, you’ll have all of the answers ready to complete your very own 90-day escape plan, a specific and personalized personal development plan which I have put together for you. You can access it at: fivestepfreedomformula.com.

Does this reflect how you feel right now about your current work/life balance? 

• You feel trapped in a cycle of getting up to go to work each day, trading your time for money 
• You lack fulfillment doing work you’re not passionate about in order to make other people more successful
• You’re frustrated because you know that you are capable of achieving greatness, but feel as if your current situation is holding you back
• You’ve been struggling to get ahead financially and break free of bad debt
• You’re fed up with standing on busy platforms wrestling for space with the rest of the herd every morning
• You’re fed up with the internal company politics which you have to endure every day
• You feel limited by your earning potential and question if you’re ever going to be in a position where you feel truly wealthy
• You never have any spare time to yourself to do the things you really want to or spend enough time with the people that mean the most to you
• You’re fed up with having to ask permission from somebody else to allow you time off to do what’s important to you
• You want to explore the world and be able to generate an income without being tied to any one specific location
• You know that there is a better quality of life waiting for you

Did you answer "yes" to any of the above? If escaping the rat race is something you want to do, then take heart. This is something I have done for myself, and I work with people, every week, who are in the process of doing the same.

Based around a proven five-step formula, the author guides listeners through every step of gaining true clarity on their life goals, focusing their attention on achieving them, and making that bold transition from frustrated employee to unstoppable entrepreneur. They’ll face everything from their deepest fears and hesitations to a true and frank appraisal of their finances - all intended to cut out fluff so they can crack on with productively taking action on building that business they’ve always dreamed of. The 90-day “escape plan” I share is unlike anything they’ve seen before, but I can almost guarantee it will change their life.

Loved it, very insightful and inspiring

I started listening to Christian’s podcast a few years ago and was very excited he decided to write the book. He did a great job breaking down all the information he gathered from his experience helping people “sack their bosses” and distill it in a step by step process for me to follow.
I got the audiobook to help me listen to it during my commute. The narration is good, and i like how he puts the excess idea towards the end of the chapter which makes it easier to do the activities then continue listening to the next topic.
Definitely got me motivated to take action and believe this is completely possible. Thank you!

Well worth a listen

Great book for developing a mindset towards entrepreneurship, helping you understand the transition between moving from time for money income to creating your own wealth.

insightful book for budding entrepreneurs

loved listening to this book. Clear and full of ideas that will transform you.

Wish I had read this 35 years ago

Absolutely great book in so many ways. Just bought a copy for my 13 year old daughter. Whether you have that entrepreneurial itch or not this book will give you a new perspective.

Great resource by a great author

This was a great book and even better listening on audible as I have more driving commuter time at this point. This book provides a tremendous amount of resources available for anyone thinking of starting their own business and leaving the rat race behind. Make no mistake It’s not an easy Journey but I think Christian does a good job of balancing expectations and opening your minds to the world of possibility available.
Thank you for putting your experience down in this book Christian, I will certainly be using the power pack to action the points from your book!!

Inspiring and practical

Christian takes many of the core principles of effective personal development from established experts such as Jim Rohn and Robert Kiyosaki and along with his own experience in successfully quitting the rat race, has produced an easy-to-follow, practical action plan for those who want to break free of their day job and become a business owner.

Great advice for starting a side gig

Even though I read the physical book when it first came out I'm now knee deep in running a side business and listening to the book gave me some timely advice on outsourcing stuff that I'm not naturally good at. Since listening to it I've put a lot more effort into finding people to do things for me so that I can focus working 'on' my business rather than constantly working 'in' it!

This is the book I’ve been searching for!

Amazing book with very useful tools and tips, highly recommend this book as provides you with resources to help you become an entrepreneur and to leave your 9-5 job (a step at a time). It is a must read book.
Thank you Chris.

Before you start your own business listen to this!

This is a must have book if you are thinking about starting your own business or feel that you are currently unfulfilled in your current job.
The book has a wealth of resources and a download pack to go with it. The power pack becomes your manuscript for getting out of the rat race and starting a business you really feel passionate about. This book has really inspired me to push myself and just get going on my own venture.
Use the the wealth of knowledge contained within and achieve a lifestyle many dream about!

A MUST for anyone looking to Sack Your Boss

A great listen for anyone exploring in taking the jump from being employed to taking control of your own personal economy. Christian’s story is so relatable and had me pausing, thinking, making notes and helping me create my own action plan. The book/ audible is full of great resources and easy to follow guides to get you started in your journey to ‘Sack Your Boss’. The ‘Escape The Rat Race’ meet ups sound amazing and I look forward to attending my first one soon. Highly recommended.

An honest & informative approach of what it takes!

I'll definitely be listening to this again, so much value to go over, with accompanying workbooks to help you take action on all the advice . A great listen!
