Welcome to Escape the Cubicle!
Welcome to Escape the Cubicle written by Wes Pearce (me).
This Substack focuses on helping you “escape the cubicle” by building your own thing. I share ideas, advice, and tips on how to take your knowledge & skills and turn it into an income-producing machine online, so you can ditch your cubicle for good.
Wes’ Origin Story 👋
Over a decade ago, I was let go from my full-time job as a wine shop manager. Yes, I got paid to taste and peddle wine all day. (It really was a dream job, at the time)
Without any notice, I was let go from that job for reasons outside my control. I was devastated. After having a good cry, I went to Google and typed in, “How do you make money online?” I decided I was tired of putting my financial stability in the hands of another person.
That one Google search changed my life. I discovered the world of freelance writing and never looked back. My first year as a freelance writer, I replaced my income from the wine shop. Over the next 12 months, I tripled it 3X and crossed the six-figure mark.
Building a career as a freelance writer and solopreneur has allowed me the freedom to work from anywhere in the world. I’ve traveled and worked from beaches in Puerto Rico, cafes in Guatemala, and jungles in Costa Rica. I love helping people discover that the traditional 9-5 route stuck in a cubicle is outdated. There’s so much more…
Escape the Cubicle was born out of this love for remote work and freedom. I’ve worked with hundreds (thousands?) of clients over the last years helping them transition into remote work. Now, I help people create their own six-figure brand and business, especially by growing LinkedIn and their newsletter on Substack.
I’m honored you’ve stumbled upon my little space on the internet and hope you will join this community as a subscriber. I’ll do my best to ensure you never regret it.
