StoryShots Summary and Analysis of Company of One: Why Staying Small Is the Next Big Thing for Business by Paul JarvisIntroductionHave you ever wanted to start a business, but felt like it was a Herculean undertaking without a big financial backer? In his best-selling book, Company of One, Paul Jarvis challenges this notion and more. Company of One explains how you can achieve the success of a large enterprise without having to grow your business. The book argues that success is not necessarily defined by the volume or pace of growth. By remaining small, you can build your company around your lifestyle needs and preferences through ‘scalable systems'. Ultimately, this focus on developing scalable systems facilitates growth without the need for additional employees, and promotes long-term satisfaction.  About Paul Jarvis Paul Jarvis is a former Silicon Valley professional turned author. Company of One is his first book, but he also writes for some of the world's leading publications, including Inc.com, Fast Company, and Huffington Post. Jarvis also wrote a popular, newsletter, Sunday Dispatches, a newsletter he established.  Besides his work as an author, Jarvis hosts classes on how to be a successful freelancer, where he has advocated for the contrarian idea that businesses don't need growth to be profitable. Jarvis is also the founder of the website analytics company https://usefathom.com/about (Fathom Analytics). Fathom is a real-life example of a company of one - that doesn't need growth to be profitable. Jarvis and his co-founder, Jack Ellis, are the sole employees. They have fully bootstrapped the company through the reinvestment of customer profits. How did they do it? Join us to find out. StoryShot #1: Lack of Growth Defines a Company of OneJarvis uses the first third of Company of One to define what “company of one” means. A company of one isn't a startup business. Nor is it another word for a freelancer. What is the difference between a startup and a company of one? Startups have one primary goal: to grow. Companies of one, on the other hand, purposefully remain small. However, unlike a freelancer, companies of one don't work to earn. Freelancers make active income. The second they stop working, the money stops flowing in. Meanwhile, companies of one make both active and passive income. One person doesn't have to run a company of one. You could start up a company of one with your partner, your closest friends, or your most brilliant colleagues. The only feature that it must have is that it needs to be kept small. The Benefits of a Company of OneA company of one doesn't grow progressively larger or require constant work. But this isn't necessarily on principle. Instead, rejecting traditional growth mechanisms can get you the following benefits: Resilience Autonomy Speed Simplicity A company of one is small, which makes these micro-businesses extremely agile. As a result, they can often adapt rapidly to changing realities and have a consistent sense of purpose. Another benefit of this agility is less bureaucracy. For example, you don't have to run your decisions by a board of executives or shareholders. As a sole proprietor, you have complete control over the brand vision. That doesn't just mean you only get autonomy over business decisions. You also get to decide how much

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.

Welcome to episode #662 of Six Pixels of Separation.  Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #662 - Host: Mitch Joel. What kind of business do you want to build? What kind of business do you really want to work for? It's true that we live a world where we can choose to do so many interesting and different things... and we can do them from the comfort of our own home (if we so choose). Paul Jarvis is the author of a great book called, Company of One. I was fortunate enough to be asked to blur this book. Paul thinks differently (very differently) about work (and what it means). He's a designer who likes writing (or vice versa) and has worked for himself since the 90s. His courses —Creative Class and Chimp Essentials — have been taken by more than 13,000 paying students. His writing has been talked about by everyone from Ashton Kutcher to Arianna Huffington. Paul also sends out a weekly newsletter, called Sunday Dispatches (and I love it!). Here has a very different perspective on what "making it” means, and how to live a life with work that matters. Enjoy the conversation. Running time: 54:57. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

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?

I struggle at mad times like these. It seems that many of us do. As Paul Jarvis wrote in his Sunday Dispatches this week: "There's lots of talk about what we can do, or how we can fix it as well. Smarter (much smarter) people than I understand politics and social change better than I do. So I'll leave that to them and give what I can to their efforts." In many ways I fear writing or speaking or creating anything just incase I get it wrong and invite criticism. But I want to offer a voice of hope. To encourage the peacemakers and the positive change seekers during such seemingly mad times. That's about all I can do. Sometimes all we can see is cloud. The cloud is only visible because it has light shining from behind it. This week's episode of the podcast is a bit different. It's essentially my raw reflections on what is going on right now and the role I see gentle rebellion playing in it all. After I watched Trump's inauguration last weekend and the many various responses to it I felt compelled to do one thing. The only thing I know how to do at times like these...I opened my laptop and started to write. There was one major question on my mind: what on earth is going on, and how can we respond to it? I don't have the answer, just more questions. I'm curious about ourselves, our responsibility and choices we might make in the near future.

My guest today is creative professional extraordinaire, Paul Jarvis. Paul is founder and launcher of a plethora of online products for creative professionals including Creative Class, Chimp Essentials, Project Prescription, 4 Wordpress Themes and his weekly emails The Sunday Dispatches. Paul also has his own podcast called, The Freelancer, which you 100% should check out because he drops wisdom bombs like they're going out of style on a regular basis. Paul currently resides in the woods of Canada, on an island with his wife Lisa and their gang of pet rats. He rocks cheap beer toques and meditation beads (typically at the same time). He also has way more tattoos than you. (I ripped this little about part from his site so that's how I know he has more tattoos than you.) I stumbled across Paul when a friend of mine recommended I check out his Chimp Essentials MailChimp course which was hands down one of the best courses I've ever taken. The course is on hiatus right now but will be back soon. I'll let you know when it's back because it is great. Just from taking that course I got the sense that: a) Paul really knew what he was talking about b) he genuinely seemed to care about the people he was speaking to c) he seemed like a really awesome person I'd like to talk with. So, I hit him up and he responded and we set up a time to chat and this podcast is the fruit of that (very easy to do) labor.

At the time he was enjoying Side Data (a Canadian band) and the Kruder and Dorfmeister Sessions Volume 1 (which is one of my favorite mix compilations of all time). Paul also recommended Oliver Burkeman's, "The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking". I'm giving away a copy of "The Antidote" for this weeks Synchronicity giveaway.
