Renaissance Business: Make Your Multipotentiality Your Day Job

by Emilie Wapnick

A guide to turning ALL of your interests into one digital business. Renaissance Business takes you step-by-step, through the entire process of creating and launching a digital business; from figuring out your passions and crafting an overarching theme, to thinking up a title, tagline and design, to growing and selling through your community.

Unlike most material on business, the RB approach takes a uniquely multipotentialite perspective. Instead of “overcoming” your desire to do many things, we’re going to use your multipotentiality as a foundation for your business. It’s what will set you apart and make your community thrive.

Literally life changing book. Emilie helped me smoosh together more than 30 years of diverse work into a coherent framework. I can now (almost) answer the question "so, what do you do?"...

Cuando vi la Ted Talk de Emilie explicando el término "multipotentialite" algo en mi cerebro hizo click y grité: "¡Esa soy yo, y eso es lo que quería hacer pero no sabía cómo llamarlo!"

Así que me fui a su página web, absorbí todos sus artículos sobre el concepto de Negocio del Renacimiento y dudé sobre si merecía la pena invertir 50 dólares para comprar esta guía.

Total, que al final acabé cayendo, porque yo soy así XD

Y sí, hay mucho contenido que aparece en la web... aunque ampliado. Con más ejercicios y más en profundidad (la profundidad que dan 100 páginas).

La parte que me ha ayudado más, personalmente, ha sido la dedicada a definir mi por qué, a buscar un nombre y un tagline.

Te lo recomiendo si, como yo, acabas de enterarte de la maravillosa noción de que eres un multipotencial y quieres ponerte manos a la obra para crear tu comunidad de multipotenciales :)

Has some good information. It talks a lot about creating an online community, which I don't know how I feel about. I kind of get what she was saying, but it kept making me think I have to create some kind of membership. I do wish that it had some more resources on the business side of things (taxes, licensing, etc). I did appreciate the section on how to do a launch.

You need to fill in the structure (on the web or PDF) and send it to the Secretary of State in the wake of making the development state expense. The MoneyBrighter normal charge is around $100. The expense of LLC incorporates different expenses also. You can document the Certificate of Formation by means of mail, on the web, through fax, through email, or by means of telephone, contingent upon the state rules.

As a "multipotentialite" myself, this came as a refreshing relief. I have read so much about just picking a niche and focus on one thing. It's been some time since I've read this but it expanded my mind and helped me to see things outside the typical way of doing things.
