“I don’t want to get into that situation with a sketchy ‘coach’ taking all my money and then telling me to post 5x a day on Instagram.”

“I’ve taken programs before that didn’t deliver on their promise… It’s disappointing when they don’t live up to the hype, and now I don’t know who to trust.”

The big mistake I made with my solopreneur business

We ALL make mistakes along the way throughout the solopreneur journey. Today I wanted to share with you a big mistake I made with my own solopreneur business — so you don’t repeat it!

If you’ve read my solopreneur story, then you’ll know that I scrambled to find a 9 to 5 job early on as a freelancer — not because I needed money ASAP or because it was my only option, but because I thought I wasn’t cut out to be a full-time business owner.

THAT was my big solopreneur mistake: Believing I wasn’t ready or capable.

What you need to know about FEAR in solopreneurship

What you need to know about FEAR in solopreneurship

You know how your hands start shaking and your heart beats faster when you’re submitting a final project to a client, or when you’re about to walk onto a stage and give a presentation, or when you’re about to tell someone “I love you” for the first time, or when you’re on a Zoom meeting and waiting for a prospective client to tell you whether they’re going to hire you?

That’s because you CARE. That is your body saying, “I care deeply about this. I want to do this right. I want this to turn out well.”
