4 Smart Books For Solopreneurs To Study
These 4 books will help you make better decisions. Solopreneurs wear many hats. I have been a Solopreneur, on and off, for ten years. I find the ability to decide what I want to spend my time very liberating. At times, however, it can also be very intimidating. Most companies can distribute decisions through a larger team.

Homeschooling, Unschooling, and Deschooling
Parents, I want to confess something to you. I have been a vocal homeschooler for years now, but I have not revealed how radical we are in our philosophy of educating our children. As we enter the long haul of quarantine, you may find this confession helpful. In the Huntress Clan, we may call ourselves homeschoolers, but we more properly belong to a radical branch known as ‘unschooling.’ The unschooling philosophy does not require schedules, or lesson plans, or worksheets, [...]

This flexibility is the opposite of [...]
Bill Murray’s Secrets of Stress-Free Productivity
Instead of working, I was curled into a ball on the ground. My morning plans were interrupted by pain, and the more I tried to work, the worse my pain became. So I stopped working for the day. I made myself a cup of tea, and went into my back yard, to ask myself: can I continue to work, or do I need to stop? I've always prided myself on being a highly productive person. Ten years ago I [...]
The Hungry Magic of 3-Star Amazon Reviews
Have you ever had to feed a hungry toddler? They don’t care about what you, as a grown-up, think about cooking oils. They don’t care about the nutritional content of the food. They only care that they are hungry (and what they eat should taste good). If you ask a hungry toddler which kind of dish would be better nutritional content for their digestion, that hungry toddler will either a) get confused, or b) throw a tantrum because you haven’t [...]
