520    Company of One is a refreshingly new approach centered on 
       staying small and avoiding growth, for any size business. 
       Not as a freelancer who only gets paid on a per piece 
       basis, and not as an entrepreneurial start-up that wants 
       to scale as soon as possible, but as a small business that
       is deliberately committed to staying that way. By staying 
       small, one can have freedom to pursue more meaningful 
       pleasures in life, and avoid the headaches that result 
       from dealing with employees, long meetings, or worrying 
       about expansion. Company of One introduces this unique 
       business strategy and explains how to make it work for you,
       including how to generate cash flow on an ongoing basis.  
       Paul Jarvis left the corporate world when he realized that
       working in a high-pressure, high profile world was not his
       idea of success. Instead, he now works for himself out of 
       his home on a small, lush island off of Vancouver, and 
       lives a much more rewarding and productive life. He no 
       longer has to contend with an environment that constantly 
       demands more productivity, more output, and more growth.  
       In Company of One, Jarvis explains how you can find the 
       right pathway to do the same, including planning how to 
       set up your shop, determining your desired revenues, 
       dealing with unexpected crises, keeping your key clients 
       happy, and of course, doing all of this on your own.
