🙋♀️ Sunday's Burning Question:
How to make a full-time living as a solopreneur?
Buckle up. It's storytime!
Growing a solopreneur business is a bit like nurturing a plant. 🌱
At first, it's delicate, needy, and you're not quite sure if it'll survive that accidental over-watering (or in our case, over-investing in tools we didn’t need 🙈).
But that little sprout can turn into a full-blown tree with time, patience, and the right strategies. 🌳
So, how did I go from slurping cup noodles (ah, the gourmet life) to enjoying my occasional truffles pasta dinner (without guilt)?
Niche Down, Then Down Again - It’s like finding that one obscure song on Spotify that everyone suddenly loves because it speaks to their soul. Being super-specific makes you a superstar in your space.
Take the time to ask you what make you unique. You are not another guy on Earth. Think about your story, what you like, what you don’t… It’s a tough exercise but it’s how you will build your personal brand.Invest in Yourself - Remember that online course you thought was too pricey? Well, think of it as a gym membership for your brain. Flex those entrepreneurs' muscles! It’s time to learn from people who have already accomplished what you want to do too.
Diverse Revenue Streams - Putting all your eggs in one basket? Not cool. Diversify. Think of it like a buffet. Why have only pasta when you can enjoy sushi, tacos, and cheesecake too?
I know how cool is it to rely only on “passive income” (even if it’s not so passive…) but you need to have a large audience (not followers) to make good money from it. It’s time to play a real game here.Network Like It's Your Fave Hobby - Some say it's not about what you know, but WHO you know. I say it’s both. Get out there, mingle, and soon enough, your network will literally pay off.
I get it. It’s scary to get on a call… I was just like you. I just started to have some calls in late June (Bryan if you are reading this, THANK YOU!), to scared to express my thoughts out loud when English isn’t your first language 😅 Now, I have started to coach people!Keep That Original Spark Alive - Your WHY is the heartbeat of your business. When things get wild (and oh, they will), anchor yourself back to that initial passion. This is so underrated but so important too! It’s time to get deeply in why you are doing all of this.
Heart-to-Heart Moment: There was a time when I counted pennies before grabbing those instant noodles. Today? They're a nostalgic choice, not a forced meal. Your breakthrough is closer than you think. Keep pushing. 💖
Remember, solopreneurship isn't a sprint, it's a marathon with pit stops, cheering crowds, and the occasional leg cramp.
Embrace the journey, cherish the lessons, and soon enough, you'll be that tree bearing delicious fruits (or you know, cash). 🤗
