"As a solopreneur, does it matter how I get paid?” Absolutely!

You can save more for retirement. Here’s how I figured this out. Several years ago, as a solopreneur I did my taxes two ways using TurboTax software.

Success teaches you virtually nothing. The real learning comes from the the micro and macro “failures” (I prefer the term feedback opportunities) that preceded the success. Success can be a curse. This occurs when you mistakenly conclude you have nothing else to learn. I see this with some new Ivy League graduates. I see this with some new first year consultants.

Many managers feel pressure to deliver finished work. They plan and replan—and ask the teams to plan and replan. They plan to be able to predict the future. But there are several problems with all this planning: These plans require prediction at all levels, from strategy to product to what the team delivers. That's a lot of pre-commitment to long roadmaps, large and long portfolios, and long backlogs.

I’ve been comparing notes with people who conduct live and remote sessions. There’s an across-the-board decline in attendance in the US. (I just drew 60 people to a live event in Brisbane.) There’s a lot of speculation about the causes, including people choosing not to travel, a reluctance to make investments (even in oneself), and a downturn in potential attendees’ businesses.

I know I’m a bit obsessed with my dog, Juno, and for that, I apologize, but it’s been a tough, few, days as we all anxiously awaited the arrival of her puppies. I have learned a lot more about female dog fertility than I ever wanted to know, but it was truly a fascinating journey. Today, dog breeding has become a precise science and gestation is 63 days, so we knew that the puppies had to be born on or before October 31.

When engineers design bridges, they estimate the amount of forces that will be exerted on the bridge. They engineer the bridge to withstand those forces plus a “margin of error.” So if a small bridge is intended to support 50 tons of weight at any given time, the engineers might design the bridge to handle 150 tons. The additional 100 tons of capacity is known as the “margin of error.

I find people investing in “lead systems” and “office support” in terms of “research” and providing “consulting models.” The only people profiting from this are the ones running these offers. This isn’t a cold call or direct mail business, it’s a relationship business. You don’t want “leads” you want referrals and evangelism.

Why do so many leaders have difficulty telling an employee “no?” One of the reasons is that some leaders have a high need to be liked, and they are fearful that if they tell someone “no” the employee will not be happy with the leader or their decision. Saying “no” is a fundamental part of every leader’s job, whether referring to time off requests, return to work schedules, prioritizing projects, changing performance review ratings, or approving new ideas or projects.

History is filled with examples of people who made errors in judgment. The executives at Decca that turned down the Beatles, the CEO at Digital who said that no one would ever need to have a computer in their home, and the reviewers that didn’t like the movie 2001. And of course, the creators that are wrong so often. The entrepreneur who raises a bunch of money and fails, or the musician who follows up a hit with a string of duds.
