      FOREWORD

      Are you in any form of paid employment and wondering why you can’t break free? Are you tired of working for money and want money to work for you? Have you been looking for the right path to take to move on to the next level in your job/career? Do you feel as an employee you are better than what you are getting presently? Do you have your life after paid employment adequately outlined and maybe even in motion? Do you seek financial freedom? Do you feel trapped on that job? Are you still happy with your job? Do you seek more happiness on the job? Do you feel you have lost your motivation to work?

      If your response to any of the questions above was ‘YES’ then this book is a must read for you.

      This is a look through the employee maze and a guide to assist the employee in attaining empowerment at all levels of their lives and live free to exit paid employment a success.

      This book is for you if you are an employee in any industry. No matter how disperse the industries are, the principles of employee empowerment and financial freedom are the same and the issues affect us all as long as we are in paid employment; experience for the book I have learnt from my years of business development consultancy and paid employment. This experience I now want to share with you so that like me, you can live free.

      Hop in lets go for the ride!

      That is what inspired this book; to tell my colleagues and all those in paid employment that a day will surely come; it will be either voluntarily by retirement, resignation or forcefully by retrenchment or outright sack. What are you doing in preparation for that fateful day? It is never too early or too late, the time is now.

      I was at a seminar sometime back where a former bank MD who is now into real estate was giving the story of how unprepared he was for life after banking and how he had struggled to stay overboard for a long time. He also talked about a former bank MD in one of the banks in Nigeria who retired in the early nineties and took his severance package in joy to go live the rest of his life in blissful glamour, after all, such a huge payoff will not finish for like another two life times, but to his amazement,
