About this listen

An entrepreneur’s complete guide to making it big while keeping things small

Small business specialist Elaine Pofeldt offers her blueprint for getting a running start with your microbusiness—that is, a business with no more than four employees, including yourself. Following her previous book, The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business, Pofeldt shows listeners the steps toward their next entrepreneurial venture, including testing an idea’s market viability while limiting risk, finding cash without giving up control, protecting your personal time and avoiding burn out, and knowing when it is time to start micro-scaling.

Pofeldt’s focus is always on staying lean financially and avoiding entanglements with employees, investors, or partners wherever possible so that you maintain your personal goals and identity. In this book, Pofeldt profiles nearly sixty microbusinesses who have all reached $1 million in annual revenue without losing control or selling out. Tiny Business, Big Money also includes the results of a survey with the founders of fifty seven-figure microbusinesses that got to $1 million with no payroll or very small teams, which provides deeper visibility into their shared principles of success that you can apply to your own small business.

More like a set of case studies than step by step advice

I think what Elaine is doing is cool, especially with sourcing interviews with business owners many of us have never heard of. The book was less like a guide to starting your tiny business but more like a set of stories, detailing the challenges succesful ‘tiny’ business owners navigate in the world of entrepreneurship. The most helpful part is the resources that are mentioned throughout the book, as well as reality-checks on just how long it takes to reach ‘big money.’

Terrific Information

Terrific information you’ll find in this book. After listening to this audiobook, it really gives you the courage to stop thinking about a business and going out and actually achieving your dreams of creating a profitable business.

Good Information, but Needs the PDF

The author provides good information on previous startups; however, she constantly references all of the data she's collected to back these case studies and it's not available for review. The information sounds interesting, but the book falls short when you can't see the data being referenced multiple times per chapter.

Very well done !!

I have both read this book and listened to it on Audible, its really good. Its amazing how many small businesses out there have grown quite large without anybody noticing. The author narrated the book herself for the audible version which adds some character to the subject matter, her enthusiasm from her research telegraphs in her voice - highly recommend

Elaine delivers another great book...

Elaine Pofeldt does an amazing job of capturing the essence of what makes these small businesses successful. The book, like her other book, contains actionable ideas and information from these small business owners and is inspiring as well.

Great - but where's the PDF

I'd provide an actual review if the PDF that is supposed to be with this book was with the actual book.
