Entrepreneurship is the rawest form of business out there. As opposed to large companies, where the people behind the business may be quite insulated from the business itself, entrepreneurs are completely entwined with their work.
We talk a lot about how entrepreneurs can stay productive, or how they can drive their business forward, but what about the more human side of the equation? This week’s Gig Economy is all about the people behind the business, how to maintain balance, and how to make smart decisions to keep your entrepreneurship sustainable.
Any Job can Be a Business
We talk a lot about the usual categories of entrepreneurship here, people who start up a business selling a service or product. However, the beauty of entrepreneurship is that it’s such a broad word that there’s room for all kinds of businesses. Check out our recent post on how one journalist took advantage of the Gig Economy in an unconventional way.
Disconnect to Stay Sane
Every entrepreneur is overworked, but a completely frazzled and overwhelmed entrepreneur is not liable to find much success. One of the things that can eat away at an entrepreneur’s sanity is the constant need to stay completely connected. Check out this Inc. article on why sometimes it’s important to unplug.

Check out this story from one entrepreneur whose business is on a roll and hear why he continues to use Fiverr to this day.
Fostering Individuality Around the World
At Fiverr, we believe in the power of the driven individual to create his or her own success. That’s why we found this article interesting, as it discusses how the direction that the global economy is taking requires that individuals take charge of their financial futures. Check it out and see a little bit about how a shifting reality is pushing forward major changes in how we see work and business and the potential of the individual.
