going SoLo: the new rock n’ roll

If you think being an entrepreneur is a cool thing to be, you will like this BBC article.
I get hundreds of emails every week from people looking for business
help, financial support and sometimes just a friendly ear into which
they can pour out their woes and frustrations.With the help of a small team, I do what I can to help out, but it
highlights to me the fact that’ ‘we still have trouble communicating
the answer to the simplest of questions: I want to start my own
business, where do I go for help?If we’re really going to ride the wave of business being the new
rock’n'roll, then we need to get a few key people round a table and
agree a more organised, seamless framework and structure to put the UK
at the forefront of a truly entrepreneurial and dynamic business
culture.This would ultimately deliver huge economic and social benefits to us all.
Its about entrepreneurs, but I think its pertinent for sole proprietors and infopreneurs. Shows like The Apprentice have popularized entrepreneurship.’ Schools like Babson
focus on teaching it.’ But what about the average person who wants to
start a SoLo practice from home?’ You can be successful and
independent, with a lot less risk, but still feel like a rock star!going SoLo: the new rock n’ roll
