Brown (301 pages, trade paperback, published by Crown/Random House, March 1994, in 3rd printing, available from bookstores or directly from author).

The book presents profiles and anecdotes from a dozen consultants who left their jobs to go on their own and have succeeded. They tell in their own words how they did it and what they think you should know. Peter Brown, himself a consultant since leaving Control Data in 1981, distills their lessons into practical advice about setting your prices, getting clients, building predictable revenue streams and growing your business without hiring employees. He complements this advice with nuts and bolts about how to set up your office, select a name for your company, set up your record keeping, handle taxes, etc. Brown is an engaging writer whose credits include The New Yorker magazine. Jumping the Job Track is fun to read and has been endorsed enthusiastically by many prominent business leaders and educators. For information, please send SASE to: Peter C.
