my new revenue
August 22, 2010
We have technology to thank for the tremendous opportunity to diversify revenue streams.
Diane Hess of Crain's New York Business observes solopreneurs coping with our crippled economy by self-marketing, self-publishing and selling products and services related to their core competencies. Her topic is well-documented, so I'll just list a few quotes from the article here.
- The key to being successful is to stay focused on their core competencies and build revenue in areas closely tied to their primary strategy. The risk is that [diversification] becomes a distraction and takes them too far away from their main ambition. —Ed Rogoff
- Whatever type of business you have, you can speak about it, write about it and make money helping others. —Mayai Chatman
- Solo entrepreneurs are a breed that likes to tackle new and exciting challenges rather than the same old, same old. —Debra Condren
