Solopreneur doesn't mean going it alone

Being a solopreneur doesn’t mean doing everything yourself

1 is the loneliest number

Not just a depressing song, doing your business solo can be a huge downer. Of course there are so many perks as well:

• Being your own boss

• Making your own hours

• Controlling your rates

• Working with clients you love

But there’s also:

• Having to do everything yourself

• Wearing all the hats

• Forgetting which hat you’re wearing

• Dealing with scope creep

• Being your own bookkeeper, accountant, VA, marketer, sales person and PR person

• Working all the time

• Realizing you don’t love your clients

• Realizing you don’t like the work you’re doing

• Realizing that being your own boss isn’t all it’s cracked up to be

But it doesn’t have to be

I remember when I started out and it felt like I had to say yes to any client. I also remember having SO many discovery calls and wasting so much time on proposals and clients that went nowhere. I felt like I was drowning and spinning my wheels at the same time. And it sucked.

It took me too long to realize that my own lack of clarity in my brand is why clients didn’t know what my services were. Why I didn’t know the kind of clients I wanted to work with. And why I was essentially generic and forgettable.

But once I realized that the most important aspect in my business was me, everything changed.

That by holding myself back in my messaging I was doing myself and my potential clients a disservice.

And that once I started to be more myself and give in to the fear of rejection and limit my client pool, I actually gained more confidence and more clients.

And now so have hundreds of solopreneurs who’ve worked with me.

I know that being more YOU works.

It allows you to do better work and make better money.

It allows you to find better clients and work better hours.

So if you’re ready to stop going it alone and finally step into who you are and who you want to work with, sign up for my LinkedIn workshop and take control of your message and your business.

It’s the best investment you can make!

I'm ready to take control

Of course I'm in!

Is being a solopreneur really as lonely as it sounds?

It can be. Running your own show means you’re the boss, but also the bookkeeper, marketer, VA, and sales team rolled into one. The good news? You don’t have to do it all by yourself — clarity in your brand and support systems can make the journey a whole lot easier.

How do I avoid burnout as a solopreneur?

Stop trying to wear every hat at once. Get clear on your message, your ideal clients, and what you actually want to do. When you lean into your personality and let go of “I have to do everything,” you start attracting the right people — and work smarter, not just harder.

What’s the key to finding better clients as a solopreneur?

Believe it or not, it starts with you. When you show up as your full self and communicate your brand clearly, you’ll filter out the wrong clients and draw in the right ones. More confidence, better clients, better work — that’s the payoff of not going it alone.
