Professional Development For Solopreneurs
You control your future
One of the best things about being a solopreneur is that you control your professional development. You can work out what you like doing and do more of it, and what you don’t like, and then outsource it.
I applied for two roles in 2021 that were both senior positions working in the government. I haven’t worked for anyone in over eight years, let alone the government. However, I had the skills and experience from my private career to apply for these roles and.
While I missed out on both roles due to stronger candidates, I was deemed a suitable candidate for both positions and can be offered similar roles in the next 12-months.
A vital component of this suitability is the skills and experiences I have gained. As the owner, I can curate these to my interests, which goes a long way to making my career enjoyable while also suiting what’s required for the future.
