About Robert:
Following a career in the marketing and design industry in London and Sydney, Robert made the leap to his own business in the mid-1990s. Seeing a niche in the area of support and resources aimed at the ‘one-person business’, Robert launched the Flying Solo community in 2005.
With a small team, he grew the business to a member base of more than 120,000 Australian freelancers and entrepreneurs, before selling at the end of 2017. Back working solo, today Robert pops up regularly at conferences and events; supports individuals in the development of their ventures, and has hosted a series of podcasts including: 'The Business of Bookkeeping', 'The Flying Solo Podcast' and his own 'Rekindle' a show that explores how to keep the flame alive in your work.
His first book, 'Flying Solo: How to go it alone in business' was a business bestseller and his latest, 'The 1-Minute Commute' was published by Pan Macmillan in late 2018 and is available in-store, online and as an audiobook from Audible.com.
