About the Author:
Hi! My name is Bolaji O.Yes. Like the hotel in Vegas.(Which is not mine. Yet.)
Im a renegade rat racer trapped in a rat racers body.
And so ever since I was old enough to work, Ive been workingon ways to:
- Get off the hamster wheel.- Escape from cubicle hell.
- Nix the 9-to-5.
I have made more mistakes than most, since turning
Internet Entrepreneur over 15 years ago.
And Ive mapped out my pitfalls along the way.(Go find your own pitfalls. I found these fi rst.)
After 3 layoffs in the past 6 years, I finally got sick-and-tiredenough to commit to pursuing my dreams full-time. So
here I am.
I have a knack for simplifying the complicated.
I hope I can be of assistance to you
As you plan. and execute your own rat race escape.

Im sick of overpaid CEOs and their golden parachute severancepackages.
Im sick of huge bank executives messing up and getting bailed out.But Im still stuck with my student loans.(Which are obviously too big to fail.)
Im sick of the status quo being the rule of law.
I'm sick of office gossip. Get a life.
I'm sick of co-workers that insist on chatting, when they can obviously see that I'mbusy.
And of those who guilt me into buying their kid's cookies.
