'If I had a million dollars, if I had a million dollars!'
Remember that catchy little tune by the Barenaked Ladies? You'd find yourself in the car, walking down the street, cooking dinner, just humming along to that inescapable tune. Then you'd think to yourself. 'What if I DID have a million dollars?' Then laugh it off as something completely unattainable.
On a serious note, there is a new breed of entrepreneurs who consistently generate a million dollars or more in gross revenue without having full-time staff on payroll.
If you are an entrepreneur you may be thinking to yourself, ‘How do they break the barrier scale without having full-time staff?’ This is no easy feat.
That’s why Growth-Driven Entrepreneurs Worldwide kicks off 2018 with another Fireside Chat @WeWork by inviting Elaine Pofeldt, author of the new book The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business. She is here to share her experience speaking to many who have chosen this path.
The rise of one-million-dollar, one-person businesses is the biggest trend in employment today, offering the widest range of people the most ways to earn a living while having the lifestyles they want.
An author and veteran small-business journalist, Elaine will outline the pathways to joining this entrepreneurial movement, combining advice from hundreds of business owners who've done it. By drawing on stories and strategies from real entrepreneurs she has created an instructive roadmap for achieving your goals.
RSVP now to get inspired by the real stories, implementable tips, and insights that will be sure to get you ahead of the game.
Bet that song is back in your head now. There’s no going back.
Who is this for?
