BOOK REVIEW - The Million Dollar One Person Business by Elaine Pofeldt.
 
In exploring career opportunities, you might be looking for flexibility and self-determination but not to be bogged down by operational admin or managing people? 
 
Entrepreneurship has many pluses and minuses. Opportunities abound challenged by the burden of executing upon them well—requiring money, people, time, energy, and risk...all for that elusive, desired reward, mission realization, AND lifestyle objective. 
 
I read Elaine Pofeldt’s new book THE MILLION DOLLAR ONE PERSON BUSINESS and found that she captures well the search for success in this new landscape. So many of us want freedom, flexibility, and financial reward when pursuing our own vision, but want to maintain control of our time and not get burdened by the complexities and responsibilities of being an employer and having to manage people. 
 
Elaine shows us this is possible and how to accomplish it. She gives comfort, direction and straightforward steps to create work, value, and wealth on our own terms. Her book is a strong catalyst, enabler, and supporter for everyone out there considering making an independent next move for their next career, or to give solopreneurs a boost to grow their businesses. Great for the new world of work.
