Everything a solopreneur needs to build, grow, and succeed on their own terms. In one place.
1099 Nation is the platform for 10,000+ solopreneurs built on one belief: the shift from guaranteed employment to independent operation is the defining economic shift of this era. Every program, every resource, and every tool inside 1099 Nation exists to help solopreneurs navigate that shift and win.
1099 Nation began in early 2020 during COVID as a private blog written for enterprise and government clients about what was actually happening on the ground. No feel-good hype. No hang in there. Just unfiltered observations on how to navigate business during the chaos.
In 2026 it opened to the public. Over 10,000 solopreneurs now read 1099 Tips every Wednesday. What started as private notes became the foundation for the largest solopreneur ecosystem being built in America.
The term 1099 comes from the IRS classification for independent contractors. It is not just a tax form. It is a symbol of the shift happening right now in how people earn, build, and operate.
"The shift from W2 guaranteed employment to independent operation is the defining economic shift of this era. Most people are not ready for it. 1099 Nation exists to change that."Greg Jones | Founder, 1099 Nation

Most people are not operating from a position of capability. They are operating from a broken paradigm that nobody has given them the tools to replace. They are capable of far more than the status quo has allowed them to see.
1099 Nation is those tools. Every program, every resource, and every post inside this ecosystem is built to close the gap between where someone is and where they are capable of going.
This is not about side hustles. This is not about passive income fantasies. This is about intelligent hustle applied to real income built on your own terms using a system that actually works.
"Teach what you know to those who don't know it yet. That's the job. That's always been the job."Greg Jones | Founder, 1099 Nation
