Review

"If you’ve thought about making the leap to become an entrepreneurr, this is a manual for making it happen. Steve Glaveski has done it successfully, and he shares his experiences and insights to make the transition easier."
ADAM GRANT
New York Times bestselling author of ORIGINALS, GIVE AND TAKE, and OPTION B with Sheryl Sandberg

"This book is a framework to inspire aspiring innovators to make the leap—to evolve from employees/pawns of stagnant and dying corporations suffering “paralysis by analysis,” to successful entrepreneurs who can embrace the right risks, walk the edge of uncertainty with confidence and good judgment, avoid (most) beginners mistakes and turn the inevitable failures into future triumphs. An optimistic book, well-articulated and worthwhile; an antidote to doomsday prophecies about the future of work."
WHITNEY JOHNSON
Thinkers50 Leading Management Thinkers, author of the bestselling Build an A Team, and critically-acclaimed Disrupt Yourself

"A must read for anyone looking to make the transition from what Steve calls 'miserably comfortable' at a large organisation to the freedom and fulfilment that comes with entrepreneurship."
CY WAKEMAN
Author of No Ego: How Leaders Can Cut the Cost of Workplace Drama, End Entitlement and Drive Big Results

"Steve takes his personal learnings from years of doing the work and packages them up into one concise book – making his hard-won insights available to all of us."
PASCAL FINETTE
Singularity University Chair for Entrepreneurship and Open Innovation

"Being a successful employee and a successful entrepreneur require two different toolkits. This book helps people acquire the tools they need to make the move successfully"
NATHAN CHAN
CEO and Publisher of Foundr Magazine

"At its core, this book is about transformation. Beyond a conversation about how you work and make money, it is a guide to re-imaging a life that you fully own."
SHERRY WALLING, PH.D.
ZenFounder

"Lots of people dream of walking the path from employed to entrepreneur, but Steve Glaveski’s actually done it. Best of all, he took notes on what works and what doesn’t and now he decided to show you how."

A practical glimpse into an entrepreneur's notebook

Reviewed in Australia on 18 January 2019

Verified Purchase

The book initially seems to be a topical summary of 'how to optimise your life', but as you read along you find yourself taken on a journey. Underneath the practical and relatable stories lies a string that the Steve entices you to follow, bringing you through a journey of assessing where you are personally, what you really want, and how to get there. Great read, even better workbook!

Very resourceful book, but not overdone with technicality for the beginner. Effective and motivating read. Plenty of call to actions to implement & start being, ‘the world needs this.’

Impactful, practical and hyper-relevant for the existentially driven employee

Reviewed in Australia on 8 January 2019

There is profundity when anecdotes meet rigorous self-reflection. This book sits snuggly in that powerful intersection. In a genre that can be bloated with esotericism, Steve calls upon his lived and decorated experience from transitioning away from a life in corporate, to ground this book in relatable realism. The message to disenfranchised employees is to reject a hamster-wheel reality is unchangeable, and instead embrace their inner entrepreneurialism.

By layering a bevy of actionable takeaways throughout — both reflective and practical — Steve takes employees on a journey that illuminates the fulfilling life that awaits outside of corporate monotony. The book speaks, with an empathetic deliberateness, to the pining hearts of employees looking for a deeper satisfaction that has eluded them in their day-to-day jobs.

I can't recommend this read highly enough for anyone who wants to realise a life beyond the four walls of corporate. It's THE toolkit to not only get you started, but to hold your hand all the way to the finish line. And beyond.

Well balanced and practical

Reviewed in Australia on 22 January 2019

As a person contemplating the shift from employee to entrepreneur, I enjoyed the transparency shared by Steve. His writing was personal, practical, funny and I especially enjoyed the interweaving of psychology, neuroscience and philosophy. Steve's track record speaks for itself but he writes humbly and presents a variety of runways for people to make their journey. Like a true entrepreneur, Steve doesn't just ask you to believe him, he provides tools to test your assumptions, make prototypes that provide feedback that informs and to do so for the right reasons. Entrepreneurship is not for everyone but if it is, then this is the manual to devour to help you on your way.

Practical! Invaluable!

Reviewed in Australia on 15 January 2019

For anyone dreaming about escaping the rat race of the stifling, suffocating corporate environment (full of moral mazes), this book is an invaluable action-oriented guide on how to make the break happen and become an entrepreneur. At the end of each chapter, you get a step-by-step action plan. Great psychological insights based on the author's personal experience in moving from employee to entrepreneur. This book will make your life more fulfilling and allow you to consign your horrible, incompetent, and totally clueless boss to the ash heap of history. Finally! The book teaches you how you can become the master of your own destiny.

Inspirational read!

Reviewed in Australia on 8 January 2019

Steve's book is not only a well written account on how he made the jump from the corporate world to entrepreneurship, but a practical guide on how to do it too. Even those happy in their day jobs should read this in order to work more effectively and think like an entrepreneur - you and your organisation will be better for it! Highly recommended.

A guidebook for making one of the most important transitions

Reviewed in Australia on 17 January 2019

One of my resolutions for this year is to read a couple of books each month. Will try to post a small review from time to time.

Book 1 of month 1 is Steve Glaveski's, "Employee to Entrepreneur"

Steve has created a wonderful guidebook for everyone looking to make this transition as well as those who are looking to refine their ongoing entrepreneurial journey.

I was fortunate enough to get an autographed copy from the author himself, yet I have also bought it on Kindle. If you value something you should always pay for it. Buy the book.

Not just for Entrepreneurs but anyone looking for purpose in their work!

Reviewed in the United States on 18 January 2019

Verified Purchase

When picking up Employee to Entrepreneur I was worried that it would also mean I needed to start thinking about a business idea. What I found instead was a book about helping people get out of their rut and avoiding the pitfalls that many entrepreneurs face.

Steve approaches the subject of entrepreneurship less from a "look what I did and do this yourself" mentality to lessons that can be applied each day and even in your current role. The way he does this, and I found most refreshing, was through a mix of ancient philosophy (Socrates, Marcus Aurelius, etc) combined with work by today's futurists (Adam Grant, Alec Ross, etc), that often ties into best practices for people looking to change their current work situation.

The final piece of the puzzle that made this book whole-istic (pun on its way...) is how much Steve also values personal well being. Whether you have trouble focusing, find yourself overwhelmed at work, or just want to live a healthier life Steve firmly believes that to be fully present as an entrepreneur you must also have your physical and mental health figured out.

This is a great read and something I will be returning to time and again for years to come. Thanks Steve!
