In this guest post,

Ellen Donnelly
, Business Coach and author of The Ask shares how individuals can aim to monetize their skills & expertise by building a one-person business, which doesn’t only offers them opportunity to being their own boss while having a sustainable income source, but also de-risks them from the astronomical odds that funded start-ups face. By exploring this alternative route to entrepreneurship, readers are encouraged to explore the vast potential of self-employment, unshackling themselves from the uncertainty and high-stakes nature of traditional funded start-ups.

The key points addressed in the post are:

  • It's never been easier or cheaper to start a company.

  • Is a one-person business right for you?

  • The big questions you'll need answer
