Suggesting the idea of (actually) ‘Simplifying Solo’
⏱️ 5 minutes(ish)
Something’s missing. To be honest, it is not clear exactly what or even if it's just one thing missing — or, maybe we're just missing what we're missing because it's kinda messy in business right now.
Maybe it’s because it is easier than ever to be in business.
Maybe because technology tells us we can start today and be in our business before tomorrow.
Maybe it’s because we have more answers than ever before that we have stopped asking questions.
Gone are the days of wading and waiting on postal applications.
Now applications means automations, intelligence of an artificial nature, and technology telling you how your business can be more and do more for you so that you have more time, more energy, more more to do what you (really) want to do.
Yup, something’s missing alright.
In this article we're looking to slow the conversation, the conversion, the continually growing number of businesses that are forever at the start and just as quickly moving from begun to done.
Our Kinda Crowd
We’ll be honest, we don’t know exactly what the answer is yet.
What we do know is that we can only be better in business for looking a little longer at the parts that (actually) do work and the ones that (really) don’t.
Now, before you get all excited and energised that a someone not in marketing, not in the money field or managing your mindset is looking from a fresh view on how we business, there’s one more thing you ought to know because what you're doing here is valuable and valued.
To value your time, energy, focus, and being here it’s important to know that while the ideas, the ponderings, the possible practicalities that play out here are applicable and appliable to any type of business, we’re focusing on just one crowd — Solo Business.
Our Focus
By focus, we mean talking to, and looking through the lens of, Solo Business front of mind.
By focus we mean that each concept, each construct, each conversation is directed toward Solo Business.
By focus we mean we look at everything through the lens of believing anything and everything in the Solo Business both needs to be doable by one and can be (sustainably actually) done by one.
So whether you're in the Solo Business crowd or not, please know we’re a welcoming, friendly, curious and quiet bunch.
We only have enough time and energy to get the job done.
We learn what we need to learn and give it a crack knowing how we're inching forward with each iteration.
With each cycle we circle we grow in what we know in ourselves and our business to be better for it.
With each knowing we are growing with what (already) works with the way we work.
While many a Solo Business might call themselves Freelancers, Independents, Solopreneurs, Entrepreneurs, or something similar, we don't. While we're close cousins and often confused with these crowds, we're our own crowd.
We're the kind of crowd that looks for less hand-holding and more suggestion-like suggestions that inspire something only our own Solo Business could make real.
From Here
With that said, if you've come this far and found yourself within these words or you're now wondering what you can grow to know in your own business then you're most welcome to stick around and do that little extra to make it applicable and appliable to your own business type.
For each of you coming with us, please note and know that our (Little Language Matters*) primary purpose, point, and promise is to continually peel back the complexity of business to work with what (actually) works and to work with what doesn’t to make it (actually) workable.
We’re here to lighten the load to move Solo Business into a space and place where people, purpose, and profits are no longer the primary reason to put pants on each day.
Instead we’re simplifying the thinking behind Solo Business so that your Solo Business can grow to meet many needs in your ways and days.
As a heads up, things will probably absolutely totally feel a little weird until they don’t (this is normal).
So, when you’re ready, you’re most very welcome to play your part in the crowd.
