Terri Zwierzynski - CFO (Chief
Freedom Officer), Solo-CEO, Consultant, Singer, MBA
(UNC-Chapel Hill)
After 15 years of employment
with large and small technology companies, Terri
became a corporate refugee in 2001. A non-conformist
at heart, she is now a business strategist
and marketing consultant to solo entrepreneurs, and a grassroots
promoter of the solo entrepreneur lifestyle. She has grown
Solo-E.com from a few hundred subscribers into a site that
attracts thousands of solo home business owners monthly
from over 100 countries on six continents.
Terri’s passion for solo entrepreneurship
stems from her conviction that everyone has unique talents
to contribute to the world, and should be able to do that
while maintaining their personal integrity and their lifestyle.
As a wife, mother of two children, and owner of two dogs,
she cherishes her ability to decide when to work, when
to walk the dogs and when to chaperone a field trip. As
a business owner, she relishes the freedom of doing work
she enjoys, on her schedule, for clients she likes and respects. |

We envision a vast, worldwide network of ordinary, remarkable,
passionate, lifestyle-inspired Solo Entrepreneurs with
extraordinary ideas -- dreaming, learning,
connecting and delivering their authentic contribution to the world --
together, through Solo-E.com.
Humankind is transforming
Humankind has its roots in an an existence where everyone
functioned locally, fending for themselves-- growing their
own food, building their own shelters, making their own clothes
and weathering their own storms. The harmonious design of
the universe promises that transformation toward a different
existence is possible -- one where it is possible for each
individual to do only the work they are passionate about
- in a peaceful environment that is in harmony with their
lifestyle.
Enabling this transformation, civilization has brought us
democracy, where a free and open marketplace can flourish.
Technological advancements have contributed the Internet
(and other technologies yet to be discovered) that extend
that marketplace to individuals, allowing the buying and selling
of the fruits of individual talents, regardless of location.
And the universe itself ensures that the right balance
of talents is available, so that among all humans, buyers
and sellers exist in equilibrium.
The opportunity for Solo Entrepreneurs
Solo Entrepreneurs, those who wish to express their talents
within a solo business structure, benefit especially from
this transformation. With the feasibility of reaching large
numbers of perfect customers, and unlimited sources of knowledge
on how to run their business, it will be possible for Solo
Entrepreneurs everywhere to lead empowered, peaceful, fully-expressed
lives.
Solo-E.com aims to create a no-hype environment where
Solo Entrepreneurs everywhere can find solutions to the unique
challenges of running a solo business: discovering
their unique talents, marketing with integrity to
their perfect customers, and operating a sustainable
business without employees -- all while honoring their chosen
lifestyle. We celebrate Solo Entrepreneurship and the remarkable
individuals who make it happen!
Solo Entrepreneurs everywhere as shining examples to the
world of how individuals can offer a powerful
contribution to society without the confines of a big
business. Working for yourself is an achievable, desirable
goal - on par with (or better than!) "having a paycheck".

Discover what you are uniquely
talented for and passionate about doing. |
|
Do only what you enjoy; delegate or refer everything
else. |
|
Perfection breeds procrastination. Aim for excellence
and listen for the opportunities to improve. |
|
Mistakes are just learning opportunities in disguise;
our challenge is to unmask them. If you aren’t making mistakes, you aren’t
taking enough risks. |
|
You can’t be successful alone. Find and
embrace others who share your integrity and figure out how you
can help each other. Ask for help, and be generous in sharing
your learning with others. |
|
Operate with a "give to get" mentality. Do for others, share with others, and it will come back to you ten-fold. Forget competition and instead look for ways to collaborate. |
|
Work with whom you want, when you want, and charge
what you are worth. |
|
It is ultimately more profitable to market and run your
business with integrity. |
|
Say yes to things you really want to do – and
be good at saying NO to everything else. |
|
Being a Solo Entrepreneur is a fun, all-consuming,
joyful existence! |
