Professional development
Most large companies provide professional development support to their staff, but for solo business owners professional development is an area that is often neglected.
This section provides general information on creating a professional development plan, and also discusses topics such as how to improve your memory and which small business blogs you should read every day. Many soloists find having a business coach useful for their professional development, so this section also covers how to choose a business coach and the benefits of business coaching.
