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.

There are specific roles that any business needs, such as basic finance, administration, marketing and delivering the product or service. If you don’t have these in place, likely, the business won’t be around in two years.
