What if the key to a successful career and self-fulfillment lies not in creating and expanding yet another startup but in working for oneself, building one’s own schedule, and becoming a highly profitable and self-sufficient one-person company? What if the most reasonable and effective solution is to maintain a small business? In this book, you will learn how to do this.
A one-person company is a completely new concept aimed at helping businesses of all sizes avoid rapid and sometimes thoughtless growth. This is not the practice of a freelancer who gets paid only for completed work, nor is it a startup model dreaming of instant expansion, but a mindset of small business that deliberately aims to remain small. A minimal business size provides the freedom to live a full life and rid oneself of headaches - managing staff, endless meetings, and the stress of scaling the enterprise. The author offers a unique business strategy and explains how to use it for one’s benefit and achieve a stable income.
Paul Jarvis left the corporate world when he realized that the monstrous stress and race for fame had nothing to do with his vision of success. Now he works for himself, on a luxurious island near Vancouver, and lives a much fuller and more productive life. He does not have to exist in an environment where only results and growth are valued. Jarvis explains how to find one’s path and achieve success, how to plan one’s business, determine the needed and sufficient income, cope with unexpected crises, care for the happiness of key clients, and, of course, do all of this independently.
