A new content section at Being Productive

The 2021 MBO Partners report states there are over 41 million “solopreneurs” (solo entrepreneurs) in the United States. Working on their own in either their own businesses or on contracts for other companies, the challenge of being chief cook and bottle washer (thanks Grandpa for that saying) is a difficult one at best.

Being Productive when you have team members to rely on is a different exercise than when you are the only person from start to finish. Planning, execution, follow-up…they’re all yours and yours alone. I’m reminded of another old saying about alligators and draining a swamp but I’ll leave you to look that one up on Google. Suffice it to say that the luxuries of project managers, administrative assistants, and business analysts aren’t ones you can fall back on when it’s just you at the helm.

This is why I’m creating this new section of productivity content, Solo Productivity. As a solopreneur myself, I can relate to and understand these challenges. While I don’t have all the answers (after all, who does? If someone says they do…be wary) I find by leveraging the commonalities of others in the same circumstance we can all grow and improve our efforts.

If you’re not interested in Solo Productivity, remember you can unsubscribe from this section using the Unsubscribe link while still getting all the other productivity content created here. I hope you stick around though, because whether you’re in a small business or a large corporation, looking at your world as if you are on your own can give a fresh, if not slightly intimidating, perspective.
