Been experimenting with the Solopreneur life lately I go to an office, sit by myself, and make money But I've been asking myself, "is this how I always want it to be?" Here are my learnings so far: The good: - I'm in full control. I can basically make as much money as I want, as long as I plan & execute properly. It's all on me - I'm not at the mercy of someone else determining how I do. - I'm efficient & focused.. Don't have to commute for 2 hours (I picked an office 12 minutes from my house). Don't have to sit in useless meetings. It really only takes ~4 really focused hours to get a full day's worth of work in. I can have a jam-packed day and be super productive, and still be done by 3pm if I'm efficient. - I'm flexible. I'm not beholden to a meeting on my calendar set by a boss. I can set my calls for whenever I want, and I can also go to lunch with a friend or golf at 2pm if I want. There are zero restrictions on my time. The bad: - I'm missing out on extra energy and ideas by not working with others. If I meet up with someone in person to chat about ideas, I'm inspired afterwards. That doesn't happen sitting in my office by myself. - No scale. I think the concept of scale is overrated in my line of work, but with my current model, I'm capped at around $40k/month. Not bad at all! But I will have to make a change if I want to take a bigger swing at a larger business. - It's boring. I can't see myself having this setup forever. It's like I'm playing a simple game that I've already mastered. Can't keep my mind engaged if I keep playing that same game forever. Will I keep being a solopreneur? I think the answer is no. But I don't know what the next step is exactly. Maybe it's hiring another writer, or working with some clients in person more often.
