Technology that used to require big companies, big budgets, and entire teams is moving into the hands of ordinary business owners. I write about what happens next.
The Owner Economy
For a long time, bigger meant more powerful.
More people. More capital. More infrastructure. More technology.
That advantage is shrinking.
Today, a small business can look small from the outside and be incredibly sophisticated behind the scenes. Owners have access to better tools, better information, bigger audiences, and capabilities that used to belong almost exclusively to much larger companies.
But the opportunity isn't to turn every small business into a big one.
It's to make small business better.
More profitable. More capable. Better run. More resilient. More useful to the people it serves and the people who own it.
We're entering an era where small businesses can punch way above their weight. And the people who own them are going to be some of the most interesting people to watch.
That's the Owner Economy.
How I got here
It was the least glamorous idea I'd ever had, and it turned out to be one of the most important.
Running a small business showed me two things at once: how much freedom ownership can create, and how little of the technology leverage I'd seen in tech had made its way to ordinary business owners.
So I started experimenting. I built tools for my own businesses. Then for other owners.
I became passionate about The Owner Economy.
Today I run a home services company, build technology for small businesses, and write about what I'm learning along the way.
