    What if I told you you could make more money than a fortune 500 CEO with a 0 employee business?
    I wanted to find out how the heck that’s possible, so I interviewed 3 entrepreneurs who make over $1M/year with NO employees to ask them what their secret is and what advice they have for people who want to follow in their footsteps.

    Where's the course on 'getting rich without selling a course'?

      Why bash information products? Granted, selling a course on getting rich is scammy, but there's plenty if information out there that people need or want that can be packaged into a course. Really, a good course is about shortening the learning curve of any particular skill.

      So true, years ago I had a small business where I was on my own, was basically a freelancer and used to do some outsourcing. Now the business I’ve been running for the past 4 years or so I have around 15 staff, the amount of headaches and stress I have now is crazy and I really want to go back to just being by myself or very small team. Even if I make less money I’d much prefer that. So I’m going to sell this business and go back to a similar setup I had before as life was so much better back then

  • @yourfinancialjourney
    @yourfinancialjourney ปีที่แล้ว +30

    Thank you Noah for this very interesting video. The important part of being a solopreneur is that you can manage to maintain that work-life balance and still have time for family, and friends, and keep your mind away from your work ( checking emails on your phone for example during your breakfast or dinner or while you watch a movie!). We work to live but we do not live to work. If you are not able to have that balance, I think it is better to outsource some tasks, it takes time to find the right people but when you have found them... you get your life back and some free time to relax!
