You Already Have a Business — It’s Called You. #217

Dan Koe’s video, “Work Less, Earn More, Enjoy Life,” made me think about that question. He explores the one-person business model: using your interests, skills, and expertise to build a business as a creator, freelancer, coach, or consultant.

I see a connection to the Company of One model I teach, especially for people who already have careers, families, and responsibilities.

You may enjoy your work. You may have spent years becoming good at it. You can value that career and still want more control over your income and time.

How to stop collecting business ideas and start building real options.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to spend months—or even years—thinking about making a change without actually doing anything?

Maybe you’ve considered consulting. Or starting a business. Or investing in real estate. Maybe you enjoy your job but are tired of the bureaucracy and restrictions that come with it.

You keep looking at possibilities.

You watch videos, read books, attend workshops, and talk with friends about what you could do.

But nothing really changes.

I think one reason is simple: There’s no urgency.
