The Solopreneur Life Story

I founded The Solopreneur Life to help aspiring and new solopreneurs build sustainable solo businesses that align with their values.

I have been a solopreneur since 1993, and for the past 18 years I have been advising small-business owners. I launched and publish the Web site you’re at right now, TheSolopreneurLife.com, to provide free resources to aspiring and new solopreneurs.

I am the editor and publisher of the book The Solopreneur Life: 42 Solo-Business Owners Speak the Truth on Dreaming Big, Failing Forward, and Calling Your Own Shots. I am the co-author with Jim Sheard, PhD, of the book Relationship Marketing for Solopreneurs. I host a weekly radio program: “The Solopreneur Life on Blog Talk Radio.”

Most importantly, I connect with solopreneurs every day and learn from their successes and challenges.

The “capitol” for The Solopreneur Life is right here, TheSolopreneurLife.com. “Outposts” from the the Web site include:

Where Is The Solopreneur Life Located?

The world headquarters are in Owatonna, Minnesota, a city of 25,000 residents located about 60 miles south of Minneapolis. Owatonna has a grand tradition of solopreneurship and entrepreneurship, and it’s the home of: Jostens (the class-ring company); Wenger (makers of music stands, risers and other great music stuff); Federated Insurance; and Viracon (the worldwide leader in the manufacturing of architectural glass).

Owatonna’s best-known solopreneur right now is Adam Young, a successful synthpop musician who calls himself Owl City.

Owatonna at one time was known as the Butter Capital of the World, and it’s the home of the Steele County Free Fair, the largest county fair in the state!

What Do You Do When You’re Not Working?

I’m probably with my wife and our two daughters. The fifth member of the family is Griffin, our 56-year-old (in dog years) Shih-tzu. I golf in the summer and cross-country ski in the winter.
