Publisher's Summary

Working for yourself comes with many upsides - and downsides. The Fail-Safe Solopreneur is your survival guide for managing the downsides.

Running a business can be stressful, lonely, and brutal on your mental health. And surviving alone - apart from a tribe - runs against our evolutionary heritage. Whether you’re a freelancer, creator, or solopreneur, working independently requires a new set of skills to safeguard your well-being, so you can do your best work and fully enjoy your freedom. 

After running a solo business virtually for 10 years, Darren C. Joe shares six field-tested practices to handle the inevitable failure, anxiety, instability and loneliness of solopreneurship. Each chapter centers around one key practice critical to survive and thrive being your own boss. 

The Fail-Safe Solopreneur distills 10-years of hard-earned lessons into a practical, actionable framework that will help you weather the emotional rollercoaster of self-employment and design a work-life that thrills and fulfills you. 

Includes a PDF with nine diagrams from the book

Highly recommended! Very effective exercises!

This book came at the perfect time for me – at the crossroads of the changing work/life landscapes due to Covid in Vietnam, but also at the realignment of my goals and purposes to make the most out of this difficult period.

I feel that this book gives much more than effective tools for solopreneurs. It is for anyone that values their ambitions, is driven to succeed, and strives for healthy longevity in doing what they love.

Darren’s writing and storytelling are very compelling and relatable as if it’s your big brother telling you about his life and how he managed to apply all of the lessons he’s learned to live an ambitious, adventurous, and fulfilling life, despite life’s big setbacks.

The book is a quick and fun read with many original exercises. However, to get its benefits for a healthy and sustained work/life balance, one must actively apply these practices for them to become a habit that will follow through life.
No better time than today to bring positivity and improvement to one’s life. Darren’s Fail-Safe Solopreneur is definitely the easy way into that!
