Becoming Company of One

The revolutionary concept that is transforming the way people think about entrepreneurship and creativity

Introduced in the book of the same name by Paul Jarvis, the Company of One philosophy is based on the idea that success doesn’t have to mean growth at all costs.

Instead, it suggests that staying small and focusing on quality and purpose can lead to a more fulfilling and sustainable business.
