Author Shows How He Made Millions, Lost Millions, and Got It All Back

PR Log (Press Release) – Apr 04, 2009 – With unemployment soaring and the job market shrinking in numbers unprecedented since the Great Depression, more and more workers today are realizing that corporate American doesn’t care about them. Self-sufficiency in the form of self-employment is the only way to be sure they can earn a decent living for themselves and their loved ones.

Yet, for all the self-help books that teach us to check the color of our parachutes, manage in a minute, or find our cheese, no inspirational, informative guide exists to help people make the often-daunting transition from employee to gainfully self-employed.

That is, until now. "Going from W2 to 1099" (isbn: 0-9727047-4-4) provides all the facts, wisdom, and encouragement anyone needs to know when they leave a job working for someone else—whether through downsizing, company closure, or simply because they’ve had it “up to here” with corporate America—and set out on their own.

Because no two such transitions ever happen in the same way, "Going from W2 to 1099" doesn’t follow a step-by-step format. Instead, it offers 542 separate alphabetical entries, from the practical (Business Plan, COBRA, Credit, Introducing Yourself, LLC, Setting Priorities, Trend-Spotting, Viral Marketing) to the inspirational (Appreciation, Dreams, Gratefulness, Hope, Spirituality, Youthfulness), the historical (Bernanke, Greenspan, Panic of 1873, Reagan) to the humorously insightful (Brownies, Elevator Buttons, Naked vs. Nude, Toilets).

Thus organized, the 64,000-word book provides multiple ways to access and enjoy it. Readers can look up specific info when needed. Income seekers can read it cover to cover to jump-start a transition. Or, they can randomly dip in, seeking insight or encouragement.

"Going from W2 to 1099" draws directly on Jeffrey's personal experiences. He is the founder of Jeffrey Taylor Group, a holding company for Showbiz Management Advisors, Scottsdale Luxury Cruises, Deep Discount Business Travel and Alcohol411.info.

He is no stranger to the self-help book market, having previously published two textbooks for the equipment-leasing industry and an autobiography on his life as a recovering alcoholic. An MBA and retired CPA, Mr. Taylor has been published in many trade journals; has lectured in over 15 countries worldwide; and has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Crain’s New York, and Entrepreneur Magazine.
