Some of you have heard of the mythical beast called a “soloprenuer”. It’s sorta like a centaur, with solo meaning “alone” and prenuer meaning “half entrepreneur”. Although not historically documented as a real thing, the Urban dictionary defines it as:
“An entrepreneur who works alone and runs their business single-handedly.”
I know, I know... it sounds a little freaky… But, rest assured, they do exist – I know, I used to be one. And today, expert Sean Terry is going to tell you how he metamorphosed from a freak-of-nature to a successful investor…
Soloprenuer: How Does it Even Happen?
It seemed like one day I was starting up my business and the next day I was doing a lot of deals… but also going crazy and beginning to really hate life. I was wearing all the hats, doing every operation all by myself.
One day I had a major realization when talking to my colleagues at “Collective Genius". These guys are masterminds and it wasn’t hard for them to help me see how ridiculously insane I was for running an entire business (two of them actually) all by myself.
Today, I basically focus on 3 things in my business. I have a lean, but amazing team who handles everything else for me—which allows me to work much less and even take the entire month of July off. Worth it all, I think.
