The Business of One Summit by CarryMoney.com 

Solopreneur is the fancy name for a side-gig ,micro-SME or these days creators. People have always had the need to augment their traditional one-source income from a typical day job. This isn’t new at all.

What is new , is how solopreneurs have been turbocharged with new tools , ideas and systems of creating multiple streams of income, almost like huge C corporations . In fact, to the extent that , for the very successful ones ,they have been able to ditch their day jobs and entirely rely on the side-gig to make a living.

Ali Abdaal, YouTuber, Podcaster , Author & Entrepreneur

Ali Abdaal is an ex-doctor turned YouTuber, Podcaster, entrepreneur and author. He’s been creating YouTube videos for over 7 years and has a following of over 5 million subscribers, making over $2 million annually. He definitely won’t earn that kind of money even as a top surgeon 👨‍⚕️

This kind of success is definitely not out of your reach. You can really make it on a global scale if you are dedicated to your craft and seek out to learn the best practices in this movement. The internet 🛜 is a great equalizer.

I found out about The Business of One Summit through the startup I use to manage my money affairs in the US 🇺🇸 carrymoney.com 

Tweet by Ankur Nagpal, cofounder of Carry

Carry was able to get some incredible entrepreneurs (from a variety of industries and business models) to agree to share a true behind-the-scenes look and blueprint  at what they did to grow and scale their businesses so successfully.

  • Alex Lieberman (founder of Morning Brew) who will break down how he bootstrapped a $1.5M writing agency

  • Packy McCormick and how he built his wildly successful, multimillion-dollar newsletter business (without relying on a ton of paid ads)

  • Tenisha Williams will reveal the strategies she implemented to go from 0 to a $600M real estate empire in just five years

  • Sophia Amoruso shares how she was able to leverage media to raise and build a one woman venture fund

  • Saagar Enjeti (from Breaking Points, formerly the Hill) will provide insights on digital media trends and how they've built a loyal viewer base and scaled their news network without any ad or brand sponsorships.

  • And so much more!

    There's no cost to attend and will be 100% online and interactive.

    But just know, they won't be sharing all of the recordings publicly so you'll need to RSVP to get access.

After the summit, I’ll begin to share with you tactical strategies to help you think about your solopreneur journey . Stay tuned!

                   Free Solopreneur Idea

              Customer Research Assistant/Bot:

     Disrupt global research consulting firms like Nielsen

A research assistant that helps businesses easily reach customer segments in emerging markets to do user research and product testing. Customized for cultural context and local languages. This is for my solopreneurs in emerging markets.
 
Problem: When global businesses are expanding into local markets one of their biggest challenges is their inability to understand local market nuances, hence botched market entries. Case in point, Amazon Prime's botched entry into Nigeria, Africa.

Solution: An AI enabled bot that will help democratize access to market intelligence in emerging markets. Solopreneurs to more established businesses can easily access the bot. It will be able to conduct user/customer research based on predefined groups and segments example; Personal Finance, Consumer Packaged Goods, Media & Entertainment etc. 

Business model will be subscriptions: $10/month to $20,000/month.
