I help people BUILD what matters in the project economy.

Hi Everyone, I'm Greg also known as GregJonesTV.

I build businesses, research global workforce development, and write books.

In January of 2000 I established 1099 Nation to formalize and share my research regarding the shift towards a mandatory project economy.

The shift from W-2/predictable income to a project economy isn't about people getting fired. It redefines how we learn and the relationship between employers and employees.

I publish and write 1099 Tips, a free weekly newsletter read by 10,000+ solopreneurs on how to prepare and prosper in the project economy. I am also the author of the upcoming books: Rise of the 1099 Nation, Fall of Your Paycheck, and The Boy from Planet Maybe.

The Project
Economy
6 Ways to Win

The main question I explore through everything I write, teach, and speak about is this: "How do you win in the project economy?"

The shift from W-2/predictable income to a project economy isn't about people getting fired. It redefines how we learn and the relationship between employers and employees.

Here are 6 immediate keys to succeeding in the project economy.

01
Reset your mindset: The biggest challenge for most will be redefining what is considered discretionary income and accepting that predictable biweekly W-2 income has been replaced with contracts of various lengths.
02
Manage your own shop: Learn to run your daily schedule, track your tasks, and stay productive without a manager watching you.
03
Always have a next gig: Learn how to pitch yourself so you can constantly line up future projects before your current one ends.
04
Sell fixed results, not hours: Stop billing by the hour and start selling your skills as a flat-rate package or specific service.
05
Train for immediate work: Our understanding of getting educated must change to focusing strictly on real-world training that turns your skills into fast, measurable income.
06
Embrace AI ASAP! Learning to use artificial intelligence isn't something anyone can opt out of. Embracing and using AI to automate workflow and speed up tasks will be a key reason to be hired.

I don't have all the answers. But I share everything I know. Hopefully you'll find it useful.
