I first met today’s guest when I discovered her last book The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business. Immediately, I invited her to appear as a speaker for my online Boss-Free Summit. She was great!

Her name is Elaine Pofeldt, and she’s just published a follow-up to that book called Tiny Business, Big Money: Strategies for Creating a High-Revenue Mircobusiness.

If you suspect you may be the bottleneck that is preventing your business from realizing the growth you’d hoped to see, it may be time to add contractors, freelancers, or even (gasp) employees!

In Tiny Business, Big Money, Elaine walks you through the journey dozens of other small business owners have taken to successfully get to that point and realize their true potential.

She profiles nearly 60 microbusinesses who have all reached $1 million in annual revenue without losing control or selling out.

I hope you’ll click the play button below to learn more about Elaine and her work. For a summary, just keep scrolling.
