Company of One Summary

Company of One: Why Staying Small is the Next Big Thing for Business by Paul Jarvis

A refreshing approach to entrepreneurship centered on staying small and avoiding growth - maximizing happiness, sustainability and profitability.

Paul Jarvis left the corporate world when he realized that working in a high-pressure, high-profile world was not his idea of success. Instead, he now works for himself out of his home, and lives a much more rewarding and productive life. He no longer has to contend with an environment that constantly demands more productivity, more output and more growth.

In Company of One, Jarvis explains how you can do the same, including:

* Planning to set up
* Determining desired revenues
* Keeping clients happy
* And, of course, doing all this on your own.

"Jarvis makes a compelling case for making your business better instead of bigger. A must-read for any entrepreneur who prioritizes a rich life over riches."
-CAL NEWPORT, bestselling author of DEEP WORK and DIGITAL MINIMALISM

"You're not a machine, so why would you run your business like one? Company of One shows you another way. If you've ever wondered how to have a business that works for you-instead of the other way around-you need this book."
-CHRIS GUILLEBEAU, bestselling author of SIDE HUSTLE and THE $100 STARTUP
