What if the real key to a richer and more fulfilling career was not to create and scale a new start-up, but rather, to be able to work for yourself, determine your own hours, and become a (highly profitable) and sustainable company of one? Suppose the better - and smarter - solution is simply to remain small? This book explains how to do just that.
Company of One is a refreshingly new approach centered on staying small and avoiding growth, for any size business. Not as a freelancer who only gets paid on a per piece basis, and not as an entrepreneurial start-up that wants to scale as soon as possible, but as a small business that is deliberately committed to staying that way. By staying small, one can have freedom to pursue more meaningful pleasures in life and avoid the headaches that result from dealing with employees, long meetings, or worrying about expansion. Company of One introduces this unique business strategy and explains how to make it work for you, including how to generate cash flow on an ongoing basis.
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 on a small, lush island off of Vancouver, 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 find the right pathway to do the same, including planning how to set up your shop, determining your desired revenues, dealing with unexpected crises, keeping your key clients happy, and of course, doing all of this on your own.

I read a lot of business books but this is one of those mindset shifting, rewire-your-brain ones. And all written / read in an approachable, conversational tone. I'm gonna be recommending this to pretty much anyone remotely interested in business.
Wow.

I think the length was necessary, though. The various stories, examples, subtleties, etc, all contributed to a big picture of the costs and benefits of this attitude toward work.
I especially liked the author’s personal perspectives. It’s true that people like you, Paul, for being who you are. Thanks for this excellent book.
It’s long but worth it

If you like what you do and you're good at it, the lifestyle of staying small might appeal to you. It might come down to deciding what fits your personality the best.
This book was very inspiring, I'm glad I read it (or listened to it, rather).
