[Digital Nomad Entrepreneurship] "One-person Company: Why Small and Beautiful is the Trend of Future Enterprise Development": When working is not just to support yourself, one-person entrepreneurship has become another option?

Hi！ Dear friend Gilly，
Remember the last time we read Paul Jarvis togetherPrequel to "One Person Company"Is it? This time I will take you to see his most popular masterpiece in recent years-"One-person Company: Why Small and Beautiful is the trend of future corporate Development". From this, I have also sorted out some new observations on "work patterns", and I want to have a relaxing chat with you.

1. Digital Nomad perspective: When the work style can be redefined, how would you choose?

Have you ever thought about what it would look like if you could choose your own job? I slowly found this answer in the process of experiencing digital nomadism.

I used to think that work was to go into the office, check in, and have a meeting. But now, turn on the laptop, connect to the Internet, and you can start working.Technology allows us to no longer be tied to space, and we don't necessarily need big money.。 AI tools, online platforms, and collaboration software all become your teammates.

A one-person company is no longer just a dream, it is a real option. In the digital age, many people use Concept to teach classes, and some people make money by designing templates.

As long as youWilling to learn, willing to try, opportunities are actually everywhere。 「What can your work style look like?" This matter should have been defined by yourself.。 And digital nomadism just makes this more likely.

2. Digital nomad entrepreneurship is not a lazy dream, but the beginning of an honest dialogue with yourself

Do you think that working freely is to turn on the vacation mode every day and work by the sea to drink juice?
The reality is: I often stay at the same fixed point to work for a long time, and there is no so-called vacation, let alone time off work, eating and walking are constantly running in my head, and youRequires a high degree of self-discipline and regular life。

The most difficult part of starting a business is not to learn skills, but to control yourself。 No one cares about you getting up, no one forces you to submit a report, you have to force yourself. Sometimes, I also envy those who have commuting time. Because there is no winter or summer vacation for starting a business, and there are no weekends, only a list of agents.

If youDon't know time management, you will soon fall into chaos and anxiety。 I often adjust the process and content on weekends, and I can't stop my head. Freedom is not ease, but you have to carry the weight of life by yourself.

But when you see the results taking shape bit by bit, that sense of accomplishment is irreplaceable. If you want to try too, then you have to ask yourself first: "Am I ready?" 」

3. Why is it more competitive to be small-scale? Digital Nomad's Flexible Survival Technique

Do you think the bigger the scale, the stronger it is? In fact, in this era，Flexibility is the key to survival。
A one-person company does not need to meet every day to report, do not need to run processes, and do not need to consult superiors.

Want to change direction? Act now.
Jili enjoys the sudden inspiration. I can change the content of the website at any time without the need to go through the collaboration of various departments or the layers of waiting time approved by my superiors.
At this speed, large companies cannot do it-they have budget constraints, personnel concerns, and KPI pressures, and they can pull their whole body together as soon as they move.

And our kind"Small and beautiful"On the contrary, it canQuickly test the market and repair while walking。
The cost of failure is low, but the flexibility is ultra-high, which is suitable for this era of ultra-fast changes.

I also once thought about forming a team to divide and cooperate，
But I also know that it's just because I'm the only oneOne person, I canConcentrate on doing the most important thing。
Every article and every project is meHand-made, More kind ofSense of down-to-earth。

And now there are communities and tools, as long as you can continue to produce value，
You don't need to become a company to live like a company.
With the power of one person, you can still play with your own small universe.

4. The challenge of a one-person company in the digital nomadic life: Are you ready for loneliness, chaos, and repeated adjustments?

"Loneliness", "chaos" and "repeated adjustments" are the standards of Gilly along the way, and they have become almost compulsory courses every day.

When you choose to start a business by yourself, no one will plan your schedule for you, and no one will remit your salary into your account regularly every month.You are your own boss, your own employees, and everything about you。

「Uncertainty"It's online almost at any time, andlonelyIt is the truest feeling of starting a business by one person. If you still have a team, you can discuss with each other, brainstorm, and find different perspectives even if there are disputes, how lucky you are. But when you are left with only one person, that sense of silence is like being trapped in parallel time and space, yelling hard to the outside of another time and space, but you can't hear any response.All you can do is to work hard to live in this silent space and figure out a way on your own.。

The movie "Interstellar Effect", a classic scene: The astronaut played by Matthew McConaughey is trapped in parallel time and space, hoping to get a response from his family in another time and space, and keeps shouting.

As forConfusion and repeated adjustments, This is not a whim, andIs the norm of entrepreneurship。 ifProject managementWhen done, these uncertain factors will be reduced by 60%。 The rest may be the influence of psychological stress, living habits, physiological conditions, or irresistible external factors, which cannot be predicted. so，You have to be prepared that every plan may be disrupted before you get back on your feet.。

This road is not easy, but it is thesechallenge, onlyMake the sense of accomplishment after every breakthrough so worthwhile。 Are you ready to face all this?

Want to start a digital nomad? Regardless of age or whether you want to resign, think of a way in life for yourself first!

The problems of starting a business, transferring jobs, and digital nomadry are usuallyIt's not that there is no chance, but that there are too few records and too many choices.。

In the past, there was no choice, so I had to fight hard; now there are too many options, but I hesitate, afraid that I will regret it if I make a mistake.
Gilly herself was suspicious while doing it, but later found out，The point is not "are you ready", but whether you can concentrate on the direction you believe in.。There is no navigation in life, only a map that can be repaired while walking. As long as you are willing to hold on and walk, the road will appear。

Some people have a blueprint in their hearts for a long time, but they work overtime every day and have a lot of pressure in life, so they don't have time or spare time to prepare. Others are stuck in "I'm past the age suitable for adventure", "I'm not sure if it's too late to do this"，But compared to age, what really makes people stuck is often the delay in starting.。

"When your livelihood is threatened, "Be brave" and "follow your enthusiasm" should be placed in a secondary position, and you should give priority to using the skills you can gradually build that can effectively earn income. "-- Author/Paul Jarvis, "One-Person Company: Why Small and Beautiful is the Trend of Future Corporate Development"

In fact, you don't need to quit your job and jump into the sea hotly. You canFirst take stock of resources and observe trends, Like the author of "One Person Company", while maintaining a stable income, slowly test the water temperature and reserve space for your own future step by step.

If you are completely unfamiliar with the new field, then be even more cautious, think about the risks clearly, prepare your deposits, and avoid letting economic pressure overwhelm your enthusiasm.Dreams need to be rushed, but reality also has to be taken care of。

「In business, execution is the only currency。 The purpose of copyright is not to protect this idea, but to protectexecute。 "-- Author/Paul Jarvis, "One-Person Company: Why Small and Beautiful is the Trend of Future Corporate Development", P281 Empty ideas are worthless

Sometimes, we are not lacking direction, but a signal to start moving. This is the signal. It is not in a hurry or noisy, but silently reminds you: you can start today and think more and do more for yourself.

Freedom is not to say that you can just go, but you don't have to wait until you are "ready" to set off, because most of the time, doing and repairing is the truest way.。
