The secret to success in life is to seize a good opportunity immediately when it comes. ——Former British Prime Minister, Benjamin. Benjamin Disraeli
For friends who are interested in starting a business or developing as a freelance worker, they must have read a lot of books on entrepreneurship, financial freedom or slash life development. But I must say that among so many related books, you must not miss “[One-person company: Why small and beautiful is the future development trend of enterprises] (https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010825335?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202001)”. This book is not only a good companion for entrepreneurs, but also an inspiration to many young people who are seeking a career breakthrough.
If you have previously read “One-person company: Why small and beautiful is the future development trend of enterprises”, Naturally, there is no reason not to continue reading “[Thoughts and Challenges of Starting a One-person Company] (https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010845585?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202006)” written by the same author. Of course, if you haven’t had time to read them before, it is recommended that you take both of these books home - first read “Thoughts and Challenges of Starting a One-Man Company” (https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010845585?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202006) ”, after mastering the mental methods and principles, then learn practical skills from “One-person company: Why small but beautiful is the future development trend of enterprises”.
Well, before I officially start introducing this new book, let me take some space to talk to you about my own experiences and feelings, right?
[Paul. These two books by Paul Jarvis are undoubtedly rare and valuable business management books in recent years. For me, the reason why I want to read these two books is not just because of entrepreneurship, but because I have some connection with this topic. Not only am I not unfamiliar with the theme of “Company of One”, I even feel a little familiar with it.
This is because many years ago, when I was the editor-in-chief of “Digital Times” magazine, a well-known magazine in Taiwan’s financial technology media circle, I had dealt with the topic of “One Person.com”. Looking back now, the concepts and context of “One Person.com” and “One Person Company” are exactly the same, and they are even somewhat similar!
It’s just that some things have developed unexpectedly. At that time, I was just a reporter and editor working in a mainstream media. I would often interview startup teams with my colleagues and track the latest technology trends. Today, I am just trying to cross the river by feeling the stones, and have embarked on the journey of consulting, teaching and other entrepreneurship. Well, really only you know the taste of this love⋯⋯
Paul. The so-called “one-person company” in Jarvis’s mouth can actually be regarded as a novel business method that focuses on getting better rather than bigger.换言之，维持小规模进而带来自由，让您可以去追求生活中更有意义的乐事。
Having said that, if we take “[One-person company: Why small and beautiful is the future development trend of enterprises](https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010825335?utm_source=vi sta&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202006)” is a model that teaches you how to run a long-term sustainable business by focusing on “enough” rather than “more”. Then, this book “[Thoughts and Challenges of Starting a One-person Company]” written by the same author (https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010845585?utm_sou rce=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202006)》, for friends who are in the starting stage, it is obviously more necessary to read it first!
Some people may question this book as early as “[One-Man Company: Why Small and Beautiful is the Future Development Trend of Enterprises](https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010825335?ut Are books written five years before m_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202006) still worth reading? But as the author himself says, this is a book that tells you why you should do what you do. To put it more bluntly, I think this is actually a good book that teaches us how to achieve a winning mindset.
Because in today’s era of knowledge explosion and information anxiety, it may not be enough for everyone to just know why they do what they do! For the majority of readers, we may need to know what to do next?
Paul. Jarvis notes that the book’s content focuses on why you might want to make a change from the typical path of business or entrepreneurship and follow a path that’s blazed for yourself. Although the author does not offer advice that applies to everyone in the book, he does provide sincere suggestions and flexible templates that can help everyone embark on the adventure.
He also mentioned many times that if you want to venture into unknown territory and explore new areas, it is indeed a very scary thing, and no one knows where this road will lead them? However, while writing the book, he still made a bold attempt to change his career from customer service-oriented (web design and consulting) to product-oriented (software, books, and courses).
Interestingly, this idea coincides with mine. Read “[Thoughts and challenges of starting a one-person company](https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010845585?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campai gn=ap-202006)”, it also reminded me of my own entrepreneurial history. In recent years, in addition to teaching companies and universities in Taiwan, Mainland China, and Taiwan, the “Vista Writing Companion Program” that I promoted in January 2019 is about to enter its fifth phase. Like the author, I have worked as a web designer, but I found myself wanting to try something new that I had never done before.
I admire Paul very much. Jarvis’ advice to everyone: “Listen to your inner voice. Trust your journey and learn as much as possible through hands-on experiments.” Therefore, in addition to teaching, writing a book and launching ” In addition to Vista Writing Companion Program”, I will have more new projects in 2020, such as paid e-newsletter, etc.
Read the complete book “[Thoughts and Challenges of Starting a One-person Company](https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010845585?utm_source=vista&ut m_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202006)”, in addition to fully understanding the author’s philosophy, it also allowed me to think from another perspective and better understand my own inner potential. It turns out that I am not a lecturer who only teaches content marketing, copywriting and personal branding. I also have rich experience as a product manager, producer and media editor in the past, which should allow me to make more bold and unique attempts!
I also agree with the author, “We try to emulate the success of others because that seems to be the easiest, shortest way to succeed in business. If they do it well in a certain way, then can’t we do the same thing? If the map to making a fortune has been drawn, shouldn’t we just follow it? There’s only one problem; the first person to arrive has already claimed those treasures. You need to veer off the road, off the map, to find your own lucky charm.”
You know, the journey to success may be fraught with dangers and there are no shortcuts. However, there is more than one way to achieve your goals. Unless you review it from time to time, you may not really know that you are on the right path…
In the process of everyone’s career development, playing it safe or over-pursuing perfection are indeed both too much and too little. I think what the book “Thoughts and Challenges of Starting a One-Man Company” really wants to tell readers is that we should think more about how to make ourselves outstanding? And being outstanding enough means that you have given no reservations, gone all out, and left the most exciting figure on the stage…
