Podcasts about one why staying small

In this episode, Richard Tubb speaks to Craig Sharp, the founder of UK based MSP Abussi, one of the longest-running managed service providers in the country. Craig founded Abussi in 1995 as a database supplier, and the business has transitioned over the past 26 years from software into break/fix hardware. Today they offer managed services, which they've been rocking for more than 15 years. Craig is something of a go giver and incredibly knowledgeable on customer success and managed services and is always willing to help a fellow MSP.Richard asks Craig how he started the business and where he got the name from, before delving deeper into what makes Abussi unique, including Craig's decision to keep the business small and how they work on relationships to retain clients long-term.Craig explains the business benefits for visiting your clients in-person and why he focuses on systems and processes rather than tech tools, and why his passion for sharing knowledge ultimately helps his clients.Richard asks Craig about the tools Abussi use to help their clients and the vendors they partner with, as well as why they recently changed some suppliers. They also discuss how the Abussi team stays up to date with the industry and what the future holds for the business.Craig shares his advice on where IT and managed services is going as an industry, how to handle wrong-fit clients and the biggest mistakes Craig sees MSPs making today.Richard also asks Craig to share who his mentors and influences are and what he does to relax, as well as what the MSP community means to him and why you shouldn't be afraid of your competitors.

Il y a quelques années, nous avons assisté au développement de toute une vague de MOOCs et d'e-learning. Pourtant, c'est un format qui s'est essoufflé avec un taux de complétion de seulement 3% pour les MOOCs.  Selon notre invité, il faut favoriser une approche plus agile du learning afin de pouvoir mettre en pratique les apprentissages théoriques. Il considère qu'il vaut mieux une approche sur le temps long avec de petits modules interactifs qui permettent d'appliquer les enseignements au quotidien.  L'invité : Anselme Jalon est CEO de NUMA, l'école des nouvelles pratiques du futur du travail.

According to the Department of Business and Industry, there are 5.6 million businesses in the UK.But get this - out of the 5.6 million businesses, 4.2 million had no employees - they are sole traders.And 99.2% of all businesses have less than 49 employees.Only 4% of businesses ever hit £1m turnover. And yet, SMEs account for three-fifths of all employment and around half of the turnover in the UK private sector. Last year total employment in SMEs was 16.3 million (61% of the total), whilst turnover was estimated at £2.3 trillion (52%)There are millions of one-person armies and small companies, and they make a massive impact on the nation's economy.Now it's fair to say that my conversations with founders so far on the podcast have focussed on the larger company end in terms of turnover and valuation and so it was time to address this. My guest is Mark Telford. Mark is a business owner, he is a practising Chartered Accountant who advises business owners and because that doesn't keep him busy enough, he also coaches other accountants on growing their own practices.Mark's clients are in the main smaller business from sole traders working within their own Ltd company to larger owner-managed firms.As an accountant Mark takes a refreshing approach in that he not only keeps his clients' tax efficient and compliant but also coaches business owners to utilise their companies to help them create their ideal lifestyle.During our conversation, Mark explains the difference between a lifestyle business and what he calls a performance business and why it's vital to know which one you are.He shares his 7-point checklist to create massive value in your business so that it could be sold for a meaningful amount of money.He also explains the importance of doing your due diligence on any potential buyer to avoid the tough situation one of his clients experienced.If you're a sole trader - one man or one-woman army or you own a small business and are considering your future and the right direction of travel, then this conversation is for you.Links and Contact detailsTelfords AccountantsMark Telford - Founder - Telfords Chartered Accountants | LinkedInBooksTraction: Get a Grip on Your Business Built to Sell: Creating a Business That Can Thrive Without You by John WarrillowCompany of One: Why Staying Small is the Next Big Thing for BusinessAcceleratorDent GlobalThis podcast is produced by GR Media Sponsored by Capital Asset Management

Je größer das Business, desto größer der Erfolg. Aber stimmt das überhaupt? Es wird angenommen, dass harte Arbeit und smartes Hustlen immer zu geschäftlichem Wachstum führen. Deswegen beginnen wir von Anfang an danach zu streben größer zu werden, oftmals noch bevor wir überhaupt angefangen haben. Aber ist das überhaupt wahr? Bedeutet größer auch erfolgreicher? Muss Wachstum, das wichtigste Ziel sein oder kann es auch ein Ziel sein klein zu bleiben? Diese Frage stellt Paul Jarvis in seinem Buch "Company of One: Why Staying Small is the Next Big Thing for Business". Viele, wenn nicht die meisten Businesses starten mit einem Gründer oder einer Gründerin, so gegannten Solopreneurs. Paul Jarvis genauso doch wo andere versuchen möglichst schnell zu skalieren und ein großes Team aufzubauen, ist es sein Ziel klein zu starten und Solopreneur zu bleiben. Das Buch "Company of One" untersucht einen alternativen Ansatz zum blinden Wachstumswahn und erforscht, wie man ein Unternehmen aufbaut, das dir dient, und nicht andersherum! Jarvis beschreibt in seinem Buch, dass es einen sehr zufriedenstellt wenn man den Punkt von „Genug“ im Business erreicht hat. Wenn du sagen kannst „Ich brauche nicht mehr, ich habe erreicht was ich wollte“ und einfach anfangen kannst zu sein und nicht ständig irgendetwas werden musst und der nächsten Idee und Chance hinterherzulaufen. Eine sehr empfehlenswertes Buch für jeden, der ohne den Wachstumsdruck von außen ein Unternehmen gründen, aufbauen und führen möchte und trotzdem erfolgreich sein will mit dem was er oder sie liebt. _________________ Wenn dir Podcastfolge gefällt würde ich mich sehr über eine positive Rezension auf iTunes freuen und über eine Nachricht von dir auf Instagram unter @thebusinessbasics Viel Spaß bei der Folge!

Today, Debbie Weil brings Paul Jarvis on the show. Paul  is a veteran of the online tech world, as well as an author and designer of data analytics software and online courses. He lives on an island in the Pacific Northwest in Canada and has worked with Silicon Valley startups, pro-sports athletes, and Fortune 500 companies. But what’s truly notable about Paul is that even before the pandemic he was living an isolated, private, and minimalist life as a solo entrepreneur.Paul is the author of a recent book, Company of One: Why Staying Small is the Next Big Thing for Business. He’s designed a number of online courses, bringing in several million dollars in revenue,  he's the co-founder of Fathom Analytics, and until very recently he wrote a popular weekly e-newsletter, The Sunday Dispatches, that he sent to his list of 35,000 subscribers. His driving value is simplicity. As he says in this conversation, “I crave simplicity,” - especially as it relates to business and work.” Meaning how can you solve a business problem simply rather than adding layers of complexity. In mid-November, Paul announced in an email to his 35,000 subscribers that he was halting his newsletter after eight years and also taking a break from podcasts and interviews. He noted that he's been sharing his thoughts online for 20 years. "I don’t want attention or power or admiration," he says. "I don’t want to be a personal brand or a known dude on the internet. I just want to exist and do my work privately." So we’re lucky to have this conversation with him. Debbie hopes you enjoy it as much as she did. And that you take away a few nuggets of wisdom about work - and life - that you can apply in this time of the pandemic.  Mentioned in this episode or useful:Paul’s Website: https://pjrvs.com/Company of One: Why Staying Small is the Next Big Thing for Business by Paul Jarvis (Mariner Books 2019)The Sunday Dispatches Fathom Analytics: Paul is co-founder with Jack EllisAbove Board, Fathom Analytics’ podcast (co-hosted by Paul) discussing privacy and business in the digital age.Paul's online courses on how to use WordPressCreative Class (Paul's online course for freelancers)Chimp Essentials (Paul's online course on how to use MailChimp) A podcast episode with another successful solo entrepreneur:Derek Sivers on Slow Thinking, Connecting, and Intentional Living Note from DebbieI hope you enjoyed this podcast.

Paul Jarvis has been working on the Internet for 20 years, starting out as a web designer and helping shape brands and projects for titans of industry, sports icons, and global brands. But 10 years ago when he and his wife decided to leave city living — and the fast, busy lifestyle that came with it — behind, Paul reconnected with his true goals as a business owner: staying small, and not getting sucked into the trap of thinking that more is better.In this interview, Paul and Dave discuss the core ideas of his book and how his personal and professional journey informed his new philosophy, including:Why some forms of growth can actually reduce your resilience and your autonomy in business and in lifeThe #1 biggest change Paul has witnessed in his 20 years of working on the InternetHis book-writing journey and why Paul, a prolific writer, considers himself a "sell-out" when it comes to writingPaul is a designer, podcaster and author. He describes himself as someone who makes simple and humane products. In the past, Paul has worked with professional athletes like Steve Nash and Shaquille O’Neal, corporate giants like Microsoft and Mercedes-Benz, and entrepreneurs with online empires like Danielle LaPorte and Marie Forleo. His words and ideas have been featured in WIRED, Fast Company, VICE, USA Today, Quartz, and more. His book explores what happens when we question growth in business. It has been translated into over 18 languages.A big thanks to Paul for joining us for the author reading and interview on Written, Spoken!Please rate our show and leave a review to help others find us.

Big companies talk a lot about leadership. However you and I may not have that big charisma factor. What do we have to do to get things done when working with freelancers? What if we need to work with several team members? In this episode, we look at how the primary task is to get the right people in, rather than playing leader. And how that frees up a lot of your time and moves your company forward with a momentum that is quite unexpected. Why Staying Small Is Smart

Interview with Company of One Author Paul Jarvis Bigger is not always better. Rather than blindly chasing growth, have you thought instead of defining business success on different terms? Rather than mega start-up success, perhaps you should work to make your business better, not bigger. With this change in mindset on business growth, many entrepreneurs are prioritizing a rich life over riches. These new class of business owners are fostering a unique breed of business that starts small and stays small. These entrepreneurs are, in a phrase – A “Company of One.” And this class of micro-businesses requires a unique set of skills and competencies, different than for larger home-based businesses. To help us become an “Army of One,” Richard “Capt’n” Henderson and Sherilyn Colleen interview Paul Jarvis, author of the appropriately named book Company of One - Why Staying Small is the Next Big Thing for Business. Subjects discussed in podcast include: A good fit - traits of successful micro business operationsThe mindset will help you succeed as an “army of one”Particular leadership and management competencies for a micro entrepreneurWhy customers are even more important for a one-person businessBrand image - Why is it critical for micro businesses to infuse the owner’s distinct personality into products and company imageRepeat customers are life or death for a company of one – Turning customers into “brand advocates” Episode Sponsor: PrimeTime Network * www.BThe1.com Subscribe to Home Business TV YouTube Channel (Click)

After falling into freelance life accidentally in the late nineties, Paul Jarvis has helped to shape the way many freelancers work. He started out designing websites for professional athletes, working from his parent’s basement on a self-built computer. And now, 20 years later, Paul is a writer and published author who helps entrepreneurs build businesses that are better, not bigger. Through his weekly email series, the Sunday Dispatches, multiple podcasts and online courses, and now his book, Company of One: Why Staying Small is the Next Big Thing for Business, Paul teaches freelancers to make up their own rules when it comes to how they want their businesses to look. In this episode though it’s finally time to hear his story. How did his business look? How did he get to where he is today: happy to be a company of one?

What if success isn't about scaling up as big as possible? What if success is actually about the freedom to call your own shots? Paul Jarvis (@pjrvs) was asking himself these questions as he left the corporate world way back in the 90s. Now he works from his home in the woods on an island near Vancouver. He explores what he's learned in his new book, Company of One: Why Staying Small is the Next Big Thing for Business. Previously, Paul was a freelance designer, working with clients such as Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz, and Marie Forleo. He now writes books, and makes courses and software products. Courses such as Creative Class, which teaches you how to "go pro" in your freelance career, and software such as Fathom Analytics, which gives you simple website analytics without tracking or storing your users' personal data. In this conversation you'll learn: How to manage your time in a company of one: Paul shares specific details on how he manages his time on a weekly basis, a monthly basis, and beyond. How to build your company of one around your skills: How does Paul build on his strengths and make his weaknesses irrelevant?

There's so much focus and attention on growth in business. How much did your team grow, how many clients did you add, how much did revenue grow, etc. But sometimes, we need to step back and ask — WHY do we want to grow?
