Greg Jones

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

I build businesses and show new entrepreneurs how to do the same.

As a business development expert for over two decades, I’ve built successful businesses and helped hundreds of others get theirs off the ground. My expertise spans banking, real estate, education, enterprise technology and AI. Today, I sell network convergence (single, unified network infrastructure) for one of the largest telecom carriers in the world.

I also failed at the first ten businesses I started, and once lost funding from a billionaire because I walked into the meeting one minute late. So, I know how frustrating building a business can be.

I founded 1099 Nation in 2000 to simplify entrepreneurship and decode the project economy.

The best way to explain the project economy is a fundamental shift where work moves away from permanent, W-2, repetitive routine tasks and gets organized instead into specific, temporary, goal-oriented projects. It redefines how we learn, earn and build businesses.

I publish and write 1099 Tips, a free weekly newsletter read by 10,000+ builders on how to prepare and prosper in the project economy. I also write fiction and nonfiction books, including the upcoming titles:

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, earn and build businesses.

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

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.

Manage your own shop: Learn to run your daily schedule, track your tasks, and stay productive without a manager watching you.

Always have a next gig: Learn how to pitch yourself so you can constantly line up future projects before your current one ends.

Sell fixed results, not hours: Stop billing by the hour and start selling your skills as a flat-rate package or specific service.

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.

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 you win the next project.

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