This book is your complete guide to cutting the cord of your cable subscription. At this early stage of the journey, your head might be filled with questions: “Can I get there from here?” “Where do I start?” “What's the next step?” “Is it normal to be talking to myself like this?”

Excellent questions all, and this chapter is where you get some answers. Think of this chapter as a map with a big, bright line marking the path to take. Yep, sure, the path meanders a bit, but the seven steps you learn about in this chapter will lead you from wherever you are now to a life that's gloriously cable-free.
