One Man Show – Featuring the Author’s and Shakespeare’s experiences as sole operators

The smallest of small business – featuring the Author’s and Shakespeare’s experience as sole operators

A One Man Show is often referred to as a ‘micro-business’ – a term that emphasises the business rather than the person.

This book has four main sections, illustrated by events in both Shakespeare’s and Jean’s personal and business experiences as they persevered:

  • Setting out as a One Man Show
  • The Resource Base of a One Man Show
  • Two different – and useful – business life-cycles
  • Traffic lights for One Man Show business start-ups

Jean provides a lively and thought provoking study for any potential entrepreneur considering starting a micro enterprise. The ideas are original, creative, and well researched.
