Review
Most companies want to get bigger and earn more. They hire more people, set up big offices and seek more buyers. A “company of one” stays small by design. In this bestseller, Paul Jarvis, himself a company of one, shows how to start and run a small firm, though not necessarily a one-person operation. With a small company, you know what your clients want because you talk to them. Jarvis raises one caveat: Staying small sounds ideal, but consider how much time you’d need for marketing, administration and such to live small and thrive.
