Nostalgia is the best word to describe Emily’s feelings while she sits next to her colleagues at a conference table in a great high building.
“Remember when we had bosses?” John Chuckles.
“Remember when we had office policy?” Ask Olivia.
“Remember when we had all that stress?” Adds saar.
“Feel like another life,” Emily says. “Now, the biggest headache is running our companies better than our competitors. Our solo companies”
Years ago, Emily and her colleagues would gather in the water coolant – not to discuss the business growth, but to follow for their bosses and the disappointments of the job. The commissioning of this way is natural. People who have no power often attract strength from comparing notes for their daily troubles. Nbc Office Humorously described this reality. As well Workers’ And the movie Office space.
But this is so before 2025.
As we tighten the 2030s, technological tools can now produce applicable companies of one. Goodbye, Drudgery W2 employee. Hello, venture.
This is the promise of my new book Cortinovis Tim Tim Cortinovis: Unicorn with one hand: How to build solo a billion -dollar company. As he said to me in our last interview: “You no longer need a full-time staff-only the right problem to solve and the right mixing of it and freelacer.”
Sam Altman agrees with this notion. In this interview, Openai’s General Director said, “We will see a company with 10 people with billions of dollars very soon … In my small group conversation with my technology CEO friends, there is this betting pool for The first year that there is a person a billion-dollar company, which would have been unthinkable without it. [it]
It will happen. “
Once occasionally, people assumed that billions of billions of dollars required massive teams and deep funds. Altman and Cortinovis think differently. A main message from the latter’s book is that the beginnings of the old school were often built by engineers seeking problems. According to Cortinovis, “According to the new model, you still need to identify your problem, then derive the right one to solve it.”
This is what our fictional character Emily did. Note: As a storyteller, I find the best way to explain ideas is through narrative. Emily personifies the vision of Cortinovis. Like many young people today, Emily did not see himself as a business owner. Nor its associates. Growing up, she was noun to go to college, then working for someone else.
The war (the office) continues to be true.
But she didn’t like being a W2 employee. She felt out of control in her life. Whenever her boss told her to do something, she was expected to do it immediately – without questions. Emily dreamed the biggest. She wanted to start her own e -commerce company. But she was not an engineer. Or a coder. However, using Cortinovis’s logic, without a problem he could fix: smaller brands were hemorrhaging money for losing advertising on Facebook. Emily could return to the platforms he without code to solve this challenge, going to business for herself.
Simple as it sounds, it’s not distant.
Consider some tools available to bootstrap a company of one. Bubble is a coding platform for non-coding as Emily-perhaps for you as well. like Techcrunch Explains: “Coding is not a bubble, and Bubble wants to strengthen the democratization of software development and the creation of new beginnings. Through its platform, Bubble enables coding or non-non-starting to build modern online applications using A click and crawling interface that can connect the data sources and the other software together on a fluid interface. “
Continuing with our history, after Emily built a stronger e -commerce dashboard through Bubble to help customers advertise on Facebook, it can use adcreative. According to Semrush, the tool “uses a large database, high conversion, to generate highly personalized advertising advertising creators, whether they are beginners, e-commerce businesses, agencies or global enterprises.”
Not to have a team to storm the brain with Emily did not prevent. Although she had no creators in hand as the show Crazy, She had. She could return to Chatgpt as a thoughtful partner whenever she got into an obstacle, even when it comes to dealing with clients and their personal issues.
Again, Emily’s secret – or anyone else who builds a solo company – is what Cortinovis proposes: not to start with technology. It should always begin with identifying the problem, then setting it ideal tools to solve it.
New dynamic water coolant He imagines it comes from escalating in this new way. “In the past, companies rely on mass teams. Today, he makes that model outdated. No longer needed. Not when you have. The biggest challenge is not technology. Is thinking as a problem solver. “
Increasing your mind and your company still requires a human ingredient, what Cortinovis researched with me. CEO and the founders feel routinely lonely on top. Their station in life often forbids them from not giving their staff, much less by stating new ideas with weaknesses.
Organizations like Vistage and YPO rose to address this challenge alone. As Inc.com explains: “Mastermind groups offer a confidential space where CEO can discuss critical and sensitive issues and get invaluable reactions and knowledge. These groups usually make up six to nine leaders with the same mind, creating a safe environment for open dialogue. The value of participating in a group of craftsmen cannot be overestimated. CEO gain access to different perspectives, responsibilities and collective wisdom that can promote personal and professional growth. “
You don’t have to go alone.
When it comes to managing a solo venture it is easy to imagine scenarios where one feels extremely alone. As Cortinovis told me, the solution is finding time to meet regularly with peers to work through your challenges together. This is the Emily brain storm session and its old work colleagues were enjoying the beginning of this article. Using suggested cortinovis tools and logic, they became silopreneneur, giving them freedom and abundance for more complete life.
So far, we have not seen a company with a person become unicorn. But that day is coming soon. Further we enter these 2030 exciting; An undeniable truth becomes clear – technology can strengthen us in previously unbreakable ways. Was anyone talking about the radical idea that a single entrepreneur could start and run a billion dollar company a few years ago?
Not really.
If they were not influenced by the ideas of scientific fabrications that came from Philip K. Dick crucified with Robert Kiyosaki. But the book of Cortinovis’ trumpets a new pioneer class – ready to bet it all – in themselves.
Yesterday’s water coolant is in opposition. On the contrary, new conversations are occurring. Filled with optimism, these conversations suggest what is possible when distributing the old ways of doing things and embracing new ones. There is no question between all the hubbub if a billion dollar company will one day come out one day. The question is: Who will build it first?
Maybe you.
