Background Info: About the "Solopreneur Diary Entries: Premium Edition"
Every Saturday, I send a weekly newsletter to my email subscribers. It's called the Solopreneur Diary Entries, and it's a free newsletter that typically shares some kind of story from that week (often something that happened in my business and/or life), plus what I learned from it and what takeaways YOU can get from it, too. I also include a few thought-provoking questions to get those gears turning and explore how the topic fits into your own business and/or life.
I LOVE my weekly newsletter (and I hear rave reviews from my email subscribers about it) — but I also wanted to dive even deeper into it.
That's how the "Premium Edition" of the Solopreneur Diary Entries came into being:
These monthly video trainings are the much more in-depth version of those weekly newsletters!
Each weekly newsletter takes about 3 - 5 minutes to read; each of our monthly video trainings is about an hour long.
These monthly classes are PACKED with value! If you enjoy the weekly newsletters, you will LOVE the monthly video trainings.
Think of this as your opportunity to get to be a "fly on the wall" as I share in-depth stories, experiences, and lessons learned as a solopreneur (in business AND in life)... plus practical tips, action steps, thought exercises, and how-to guides for what you can do to learn from my experiences and implement these lessons into your business/life.
Frequently Asked Questions
"Who is this for?"
These monthly online solopreneur trainings are for ANYONE interested in solopreneurship, anti-hustle productivity, and personal fulfillment — or if you're simply a bit nosey and want a peek behind the curtain at the real-life, real-time decision-making, experiments, navigating obstacles, etc that I'm doing in my life and business 😉
This is for YOU, whether you are:
- A beginner without any experience as a solopreneur,
- Advanced at solopreneurship and you've been in business for over a decade, or
- Simply curious about behind-the-scenes solopreneur insights.
As a multipassionate solopreneur — with 15 years of business experience — who has pivoted multiple times over the years AND worked with dozens of solopreneurs at all levels of experience, I bring a unique set of skills and expertise that is adaptable to YOUR individual situation.
Don't worry about being too beginner or too advanced — there's no such thing!
"What exactly is included when I buy this?"
You get:
- This month's solopreneur training, plus the ENTIRE archive of classes, plus ALL FUTURE monthly online solopreneur trainings (one new class each month, guaranteed minimum of 18 classes).
- Access to attend the video trainings live and/or watch the replay.
- Opportunity to participate in the chatbox during the live trainings (interact with your fellow solopreneurs, share your thoughts/insights, ask Sagan questions in real time, etc).
- Transcript is made available with each of the video trainings.
- Opportunity to submit your feedback (anonymously, if you choose) on the trainings, and/or to submit your topic requests for future monthly trainings.
Please note that there is no community component to this, besides the chatbox on the video training. If you choose to attend the trainings live, you will not be on camera.
"How long should I set aside to attend each of these classes?"
They're typically each between 75 - 90 minutes long. This depends on how in-depth we get on a topic or how many questions we have during the live call.
And of course, you can speed up the class to watch it at a faster pace if you choose!
The shortest training we've done was 55 minutes; the longest was 2 hours 30 minutes.
"What day of the week/time of day do you teach these classes?"
We (currently) typically do these at 1pm PT on the second Wednesday of each month, however this is subject to change in the future.
I can't accommodate everyone, but you can request timeslots or days of the weeks and I'll see if I can prioritize that for you.
"How long have you been teaching these classes?"
Technically I've been teaching these monthly classes since September 2022 — however, for the first 2 years, they were EXCLUSIVELY for people who joined my Productivity Powerhouse e-course at a VIP tier.
It wasn't until November 2024 that I began making the monthly classes available to the public (which means that your access to the archive is from November 2024 — present).
These classes have been around for a while, and they aren't going away anytime soon!
"What if I want you to teach a topic you're already taught in the past?"
There's often a lot more to say on a given topic (and different aspects of a topic that we can approach from multiple angles), so we can certainly revisit a topic again.
You are ALWAYS welcome and encouraged to submit topic requests!
If you'd like to request specific topics BEFORE you purchase, please contact hello[at]saganmorrow[dot]com — I'll let you know if those are topics I can accommodate.
"What topics do/don't you address in these classes?"
My speciality is in solopreneurship, anti-hustle productivity, and personal fulfillment.
We can discuss a wide range of issues under those umbrellas (e.g. business planning, goal setting, time management, overwhelm, perfectionism, body image, people pleasing, etc).
...There are also many other topics which I am not an expert at, in which case I can share about my experience (if I have experience in it), but I may not be able to provide you with best practices or recommendations.
You are always welcome to ask any questions; I'll be upfront with you if it is outside of my wheelhouse!
"Do I get immediate access to the archive?"
You get immediate access to this month's class AND last month's class!
Previous classes are "dripped out" to you over the course of several months. Once you've completed all of your payments in the payment plan, you'll unlock access to ALL of the classes!
(If you chose the one-time payment option and would like immediate access to all classes in the archive, please contact hello[at]saganmorrow[dot]com — only people who have completed all payments get this option to unlock the entire archive right away. Please note that this is done manually, so it may take a couple business days before we let you know that it's been done)
"Is this a membership?"
NO, this is not a membership.
A "membership" involves you needing to continue to pay on an ongoing basis, every single month, in order to RETAIN access to content.
This, on the other hand, is a flat fee of just $200 (or 4 payments of $50/month) — and you get ongoing access as new monthly online solopreneur trainings are released, WITHOUT needing to pay more money.
NOTE: Price increases from $200 to $250 very soon.
"WHY isn't this a membership? Wouldn't it make more business sense for you to get people to pay you on an ongoing basis?"
There are a few reasons:
- Because I'm tired of "renting" things online — and I bet you are, too. (Once you've paid the $200 TOTAL, that's it! You don't have to worry about always needing to make more payments.)
- Because I don't want you to stick around purely out of FOMO. (E.g. I don't want you to struggle to decide whether you should pay vs cancel the membership because "what if the next class is exactly what I want" — I'd rather that you get access to all of the trainings, so you get what you want and need without waffling over it.)
- Because I don't want to nickel-and-dime you. (These classes are a really accessible way for you to benefit from my expertise, especially if you can't afford my 1:1 coaching services.)
- Because I want this to be an easy decision for you. (There are enough decisions to make as a solopreneur, without needing to decide whether you should continue vs cancel a monthly membership.)
"What if I only want to buy THIS month's training?"
You can do that! This month's training is available for just $37.
You MUST purchase before midnight PT on the last day of the month in order to access this month's training.
Please note: The $37 you spend on this month's training cannot be used as a "credit" or "downpayment" on the $200 flat rate for full access to all future monthly classes.
As such, I strongly recommend that you choose the $200 flat fee (or the $50/month payment plan of 4 monthly payments) so as to get access to this month's training plus ALL future monthly trainings.
(Especially because the price increases from $200 to $250 very soon!)
"I don't want a bunch of fluff... How long does it take for you to get to the MEAT of the content for each training?"
These classes are NOT fluffy!
We start the actual training right away when the class begins — there's no lengthy intro; we just get RIGHT into it... and then we wrap up the training right away when we’re done (no big sales pitch!)
I’m committed to respecting your time and giving you fluff-free content in EVERY monthly class.
"How much time do you spend selling your products/services during each of these classes?"
These monthly online solopreneur trainings are NOT designed to be sales pitches.
They are designed to answer your questions about solopreneurship, anti-hustle productivity, and personal fulfillment — and to share my experiences and stories ("video diary-entry" style), and the lessons, recommendations, best practices, and takeaways from them.
...and as such, I spend very little time "selling" during these classes.
I mention my coaching services and/or my signature e-course, Productivity Powerhouse, during pretty much every training — but it is always in passing and only where relevant.
For example, I'll likely say something like, "If you want help doing XYZ, we can do that together on a coaching call."
...And that's the extent of it!
"Are these trainings more teaching-based, coaching-based, storytelling... What exactly can I expect at each of them?"
We switch it up, depending on the month and the topic! Think of this as a hybrid combination of any/all of the following...
- Deep-dive masterclasses on very specific topics.
- Documentary-style "diary entries," sharing a peek behind the curtain of my business and life (including how I'm handling different obstacles as they arise, real-time decisions I'm making and experiments I'm testing out, etc).
- High-level concepts and teachings.
- Behind-the-scenes storytelling and personal anecdotes (stories I don't share anywhere else!).
- Practical action steps and how-to guides for implementing what you learn.
- Encouraging pep talks and compassionately-challenging coaching-style conversations.
That's one of the BEST parts about these monthly classes — we adapt them to what you want and need, based on that month's topic. This also keeps it the most interesting, engaging, and useful for you!
**Please note that the price will increase from $200 to $250 very soon**

Who teaches these monthly online solopreneur trainings?
Hi! I'm Sagan (she/her), your Personal Fulfillment and Solopreneur Productivity Coach. I'm the creator of the Solopreneur Diary Entries and I teach all of these monthly online solopreneur trainings.
I'm an internationally board-certified Success & Life Coach and Practitioner of Emotional Freedom Techniques, with 12+ years of experience in business (as a freelance writer & editor, blogger, author, and online course creator & instructor).
My entire adult life, I've had chronic anxiety, insomnia, and nightmare disorder... which means that traditional productivity methods and business practices aren't a good fit for me. That's why I created personality-based productivity and anti-hustle methodologies (with a foundation of understanding myself better, improving my relationship with myself, and developing my intuition) to customize everything to adapt to my unique needs as a solopreneur.
The best part? These proven methods can be customized and adapted to fit all kinds of things in business AND in life — including YOUR unique wants and needs. I am passionate about helping you create a business you adore, enjoy true work/life balance, build a better relationship with yourself, and become the best version of yourself so you live the life that lights you up!
My specialty is working with solopreneurs, and I am particularly passionate about supporting solopreneurs because as a solopreneur, your work and your life are inherently linked.
As an anti-hustle Productivity Strategist and internationally board-certified Success & Life Coach, I have been teaching and coaching other people like you to get powerful results since 2016 through 8+ online courses, 100+ presentations (conference sessions, podcast interviews, workshops, etc), and 1:1 coaching (including one-time sessions and longer-term, ongoing sessions).
Beyond that, I also have a background of professional experience in public relations, community leadership, fundraising & development, and coordinating & managing teams. I'm an alumnus of the Anti-Racism Leadership School and the Lotus Institute Master Face Reading program.
(And because I have that experience of being a solopreneur for 12+ years AND coaching dozens of other solopreneurs in building their own businesses... plus working in a business partnership, 9 to 5 jobs, contractor for other companies, and in the non-profit sector... you KNOW you are getting the real deal with informed, well-rounded expertise!)
