Facebook, Google, Hostgator, aweber, and many of those popular services online are run by companies. But do you know any businesses that are run by one or two man army?

If any of them are run by one-man army, I believe they can serve as an inspiration for us who are running our business alone. Maybe we can discover and discuss more about their business model that allows them to run this alone?

    Then look at other self-made folks such as Peter Jones and Hilary Devey.

    I'd be interested if there are any good examples. I would assume we would see people who are known for something they do very well. For example, a famous yoga instructor, tennis player or published author who offer expert coaching would be good examples of people who are somewhat one man armies. So the short answer is you have to become known for doing something really well.

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

    I don't know about Hostgator and Aweber, but Facebook and Google were started by a guy from Harvard University, and two boys from Stanford University respectively. The two internet mammoths were run by just those people for a long time, and during all that time they were just rising. As soon as they saw that the profits were going higher, and they could use more hands, they started employing people. Step by step, the employees were so many that there was no reason to not call them a corporation.

    You can take inspiration from any successful entrepreneur. It is highly likely that he/she started off alone, and morphed into an organization in order to increase the profits exponentially. One man alone can't run a company that makes even 6 digit profits, let alone a multi-million or multi-billion dollar firm.
