Summary

Did you know that about 80% of all small business owners solopreneurs? This means that they have no paid employees working for them. To get established, many have to work extremely hard. About 80% of small business owners will work overtime each week.

However, solopreneurs get to work from home and love it. There is a lot of freedom that comes with owning your own business! They do not have to worry about a boss or employees- just the work that they have to do. Plus, many feel confident about their future.

Do you want to become a solopreneur? You could take your talents and expand on them- allowing you to earn an income from what you love to do. Most solopreneurs start their own business because they are ready to be their own boss- are you? Be sure to keep reading to learn more.

The big question is, why solopreneurship?

Be Your Own Boss
As a solopreneur, you would be in complete and total control of your business. That means less stress at work, which you would likely enjoy much more. Taking the plunge in solopreneurship requires that you are disciplined, but many people actually work much better without a boss. If you feel that you can work from home easily, then this career path could be perfect for you.

You Have a Passion
Many solopreneurs are creative. They may sell their art, designs, written content, or other works. Plenty of freelancers can also be considered solopreneurs. If you have something you love doing each day, you can use it to make a business. When we are doing what we love, we are happier and much more productive.

Plan Your Time
Solopreneurs need to know how to use their time effectively. You will want to spend time on only important tasks, so that your business can grow. If you struggle with time management, you will need to work on that as a solopreneur. There are plenty of methods that you can try. The Pomodoro Technique works the best. It involves setting a timer and working consistently.

How Can You Get Started?
If you want to become a solopreneur, it is essential that you do not dive in without knowing what you are getting into. You should never attempt to start a business without a foundation and a plan. Otherwise, your startup could fail and you would lose the money you invested in it.
However, plenty of solopreneurs succeed. The ones that do are the ones who spent time researching planning and put in the effort needed. They worked hard to get where they are. Keep in mind that even the richest, most famous solopreneurs had to start somewhere.

We put together an informative guide for you. This guide includes plenty of detailed information on how to start and plan a solopreneur business. If you are interested in working from home, you will want to check it out.

    Who Do You Want Your Customers...

    Who do you want your customers to become?

According to MIT innovation expert and thought leader Michael Schrage, if you aren’t asking this question, your strategic marketing and innovation efforts will fail.

In this latest HBR Single, Schrage provides a powerful new lens for getting more value out of innovation investment. He argues that asking customers to do something different doesn’t go far enough—serious marketers and innovators must ask them to become something different instead. Even more, you must invest in their capabilities and competencies to help them become better customers. 

Schrage’s primary insight is that innovation is an investment in your client, not just a transaction with them. To truly innovate today, designing new products or features or services won’t get you there. Only by designing new customers—thinking of their future state, being the conduit to their evolution—will you transform your business.

Marketing executives, brand managers, strategic innovators, and entrepreneurs alike should understand how successful innovation rebrands the client and not the product. A requisite question for its time, Who Do You Want Your Customers To Become will liberate you and your team from ‘innovation myopia’—and turn your innovation efforts on their head.

    The proven, all-weather investing strategy that delivers long-term, consistent returns

 
The most common investing approach today-one that values “growth” over all else-can be ineffective and counterproductive for many investors, not to mention needlessly stressful.

 
Now, one of Seeking Alpha’s most popular writers, Steven Bavaria, provides a groundbreaking alternative that will see you through all markets-up, down, and sideways. The Income Factory shows how to build an income stream that increases solidly and consistently-a result of re-investing and compounding the dividends. And the best part? This income stream actually grows faster during market downturns than during flat or rising market periods.

 
The Income Factory sheds light on: 

* Why “high-yield” doesn’t have to mean “high-risk” 

* How credit investments perform more predictably than equity investments 

* Why “junk” is a misnomer-and why high-yield debt is safer than most of the stocks investors own 

* How to grow your wealth steadily without following the markets obsessively 

 

Through Bavaria’s strategy, cash income increases year after year at a predictable rate. For example, a 9% yielding portfolio doubles and re-doubles every 8 years. If you’re in for the long haul, an Income Factory lets you achieve your goals and still sleep well at night.

 
Investing does not have to be about picking specific horses and hoping they win the race. An Income Factory achieves its goals by essentially betting on horses to make it around the track and finish the race.

 
Those are easier bets to win, and they don’t require us to be glued to the financial news 24/7.

Because currently, there are five generations in the workplace: Radio Babies (born during 1930-1945); Baby Boomers (1946-1964); Generation X (1965-1976); Generation Y (1977-1991); even some Millennials (1991 and later). Each of them has a different perspective, based on their upbringing and daily lives. The key to making encounters between the generations successful is learning to understand the point of view of each generation and respect their differences.The individuals and organizations that do this will be the ones to succeed. This book will show you how.Authors Gravett and Throckmorton take a dynamic approach to the situation by writing in two distinct voices—as a Baby Boomer and a Gen-Xer—using a "point-counterpoint" approach to identify differences and similarities across generations. They share hands-on experiences, real-life cases, recommended solutions, and ground-breaking research on how members of any generation can better relate to minimize conflict, miscommunication, and wasted energy. You will learn what each generation thinks of the others and how each wishes the others viewed it. Bridging the Generation Gap is filled with strategies and solutions you can implement immediately to help build your own bridge between the generations.
