Listen "Solo Business Fundamentals"
Episode Synopsis
The difference between entrepreneurial success and failure isn't about your business plan; it's about what's already inside of you.In this episode, I talk about the unglamorous reality of building a business alone and reveal the five non-negotiable characteristics that separate successful solopreneurs from those who might struggle to stay in the solo business lane. I share my own challenges in building my business and what I do to keep going. I'm stripping away the fantasy of entrepreneurship and diving into the raw truth about what it really takes to make it as a solo business owner.Episode Gems: "Starting a business is easy for the most part, but the real work comes in when you start building."“When you have a business, discipline has to be key into how you show up because you have to be willing to show up even when you're not being pushed, even when you're not being held accountable."“If money is the only motivator, you're not gonna last long. You have to find other reasons or a bigger why in order for you to be successful in your business."In this Episode:05:27 Why I believe working for yourself and building a scalable business are two completely different paths.09:13 Core traits I've learned you need before you even think about quitting your day job.19:28 The importance of saving money and why it's okay to get a job while building.23:33 Setting milestones to know when to keep going and when to quit.25:36 Why you should be careful about who you share your dreams with.30:27 It's okay if entrepreneurship isn't for you, plus alternatives to consider.Download your free LITM Podcast Sheet to capture gems and answer questions from the episode.
