"As a solopreneur, does it matter how I get paid?” Absolutely! In the U.S., being paid on a 1099 tax basis as a business instead of on a W-2 tax basis like a temp worker makes a huge difference to your profitability for two key reasons: You can pay less tax. You can save more for retirement. Here’s how I figured this out. Several years ago, as a solopreneur I did my taxes two ways using TurboTax software.

But there are several problems with all this planning: These plans require prediction at all levels, from strategy to product to what the team delivers. That's a lot of pre-commitment to long roadmaps, large and long portfolios, and long backlogs.

Over the past years, I’ve been intrigued by why airplanes crash. Yes, I suppose it’s a slightly morbid fascination, but I suspect it has to do with a general tendency of mine to learn from mistakes to prevent future catastrophes. Years ago, one of my friends who is a pilot explained to me that planes rarely crash because of a single error. They’re almost always due to multiple consecutive errors that result in a tragedy.

Whilst the workplace has become more personal in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic , which forced a convergence of issues like wellbeing and professionalism, showing too much personality at work has ironically yet to gain widespread acceptance.

I’ve been comparing notes with people who conduct live and remote sessions. There’s an across-the-board decline in attendance in the US. (I just drew 60 people to a live event in Brisbane.) There’s a lot of speculation about the causes, including people choosing not to travel, a reluctance to make investments (even in oneself), and a downturn in potential attendees’ businesses.

I know I’m a bit obsessed with my dog, Juno, and for that, I apologize, but it’s been a tough, few, days as we all anxiously awaited the arrival of her puppies. I have learned a lot more about female dog fertility than I ever wanted to know, but it was truly a fascinating journey. Today, dog breeding has become a precise science and gestation is 63 days, so we knew that the puppies had to be born on or before October 31.

I find people investing in “lead systems” and “office support” in terms of “research” and providing “consulting models.” The only people profiting from this are the ones running these offers. This isn’t a cold call or direct mail business, it’s a relationship business. You don’t want “leads” you want referrals and evangelism.

When engineers design bridges, they estimate the amount of forces that will be exerted on the bridge. They engineer the bridge to withstand those forces plus a “margin of error.” So if a small bridge is intended to support 50 tons of weight at any given time, the engineers might design the bridge to handle 150 tons. The additional 100 tons of capacity is known as the “margin of error.
