The Well
For a list of web resources for the sole practitioner, click here for our “Best of the Web” page.
Being a sole practitioner of any profession can be lonely at times - downright confusing and frightening at others. What we all need in those times is The Well - an always-open source of inspiration.
Here, you’ll find a collection of other pages ’round the web that I think fill that need. This page will be updated periodically as I find more such resources. If you have suggestions of pages that should be added to this list, add them in the comments, and I’ll check them out. The guidelines: writings should speak universal truths. While a piece may be religious or preferably spiritual in nature, it should not proselytize or condemn in any way. It should speak to the way of the courageous who take the “road less traveled,” though it need not be strictly speaking “about” entrepreneurship or even business in general.
Without further ado, The Well:
