The must-read summary of Stephen Pollan and Mark Levine's book: "Fire Your Boss: Why You Should Hire Yourself".
This complete summary of the ideas from Stephen Pollan and Mark Levine's book "Fire Your Boss" shows that landing the job of your dreams has little to do with your company, your boss, your profession, or your location. It has nothing to do with your resume, your expanding menu of job skills, or your impressive business Rolodex. Sure, the state of the economy makes a difference, but it’s not the most important factor. Landing the job of your dreams is an inside job. It’s done by adopting an entirely new attitude toward work and the workplace, one that puts you in charge of your new job. The trick is to fire your boss and replace him or her with yourself. This summary exposes the seven key elements of the fire-your-boss philosophy. It also contains examples of how this strategy has helped people to achieve personal success and create their ideal job situation. Instead of seeing yourself as the victim of the workplace, get into the driver’s seat and change your work life for the better!
Added-value of this summary:
• Save time
• Understand key concepts
• Increase your business knowledge
To learn more, read "Fire Your Boss" and land the job of your dreams!

Book Abstract
Creating the job of your dreams is an “inside” job – it depends more on what you’re thinking and doing than it ever does on external factors like the state of the economy, the strength of the job market or even what your current boss thinks about you. If you adopt an attitude that acknowledges you’re in charge and act accordingly, you can control your present and future success.
This fire-your-boss philosophy has seven key elements:
In short, you can take charge of your work life and create your ideal job situation. It’s entirely up to you. All it takes is a change of attitude on your part. Instead of seeing yourself as the victim of the workplace, get into the driver’s seat and change your work life for the better. It’s your call because in the final analysis, nobody else but you can ever take full responsibility for building your own career. So be proactive and act intelligently to increase your income.

Summary of Fire Your Boss (Stephen Pollan and Mark Levine)
1. Take charge. Fire your boss… and hire yourself
Don’t let your boss or anyone else dictate the course your career takes. Instead, hire yourself to manage your own work life. Have the attitude that even though you may work for someone else, you’re the one who calls the shots and makes the critical decisions for your career. This is too important to leave to anyone else to do.
Most people feel like they have little or no control over their work lives. They work for a boss who has the power to fire, act impulsively at will, decide when workers should arrive and when they should leave, and who can even dictate how to dress, where to sit and when to go to lunch. In most situations, people would not be prepared to accept those kinds of restrictions, but when it comes to employment, people cede control to their bosses.
To evaluate whether this is true for you, answer a few questions:
What is your value in the workplace?What kind of benefits do you deserve?What marketable skills do you have?What are your greatest achievements?How long do you need to work at a particular job to master it and be ready to move on to something more challenging?Do you have a written personal plan for your life?More than likely, in answering these questions, you probably have assumed that your current job and benefits reflect your value in the marketplace and there’s not much you can do about it. You’ll probably have a list of achievements that mean something to your firm but little to you personally. And more than likely, you’ll be frozen in a job which you mastered long ago but your boss has told you you’re “not ready” for more responsibilities.
While it is true you can always quit your job if you don’t like it, a far better idea is to take complete responsibility for your career and the quality of your work life. This requires an attitude adjustment on your part first and foremost. You need to look at your work life differently, and change the way you think and act. Taking control in this way may not even mean making outward changes in where you work, but on the inside you’ll be the one pulling the strings rather than letting your boss decide what’s good for you.
