THE MILLION-DOLLAR, ONE-PERSON BUSINESS

The rise of million-dollar, one-person businesses in the past five years is one of the biggest trends in employment today. Elaine Pofeldt first wrote about this shift in a viral piece on Forbes.com, now with more than 300k page views.

In The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business, Pofeldt outlines the pathways to joining this new movement, synthesizing the advice from dozens of business owners who’ve done it. She details how a single individual can achieve a six-figure income after taxes while maintaining the lifestyle they want by utilizing the new tools of automation and making the most of today’s transformed work environment.

In the aspirational vein of The 4-Hour Workweek and hardworking style of other startup instructionals, such as The $100 Startup and The Lean Startup, this book will appeal to all those who seek a great work life and a great lifestyle.
