The Dream
You’re finally making a living as a solo business owner, and love telling your “employed” friends how great it is to be self-employed. And it’s true — you’re working from home (or the beach, or a hotel room!), there’s no stressful commute, and forget the confines of a 9-5 workday.
The Reality
But there may be more you aren’t telling your friends: It’s a little scary sometimes! Your salary is a roller coaster, as customers come and go, making it hard to plan for — much less save for — the future. You know you are working too hard, but you just have too much work to do — plus mountains of email. There’s no time to take a break, and frankly, you’re exhausted!
Wouldn’t it be lovely to work less and relax more? Can you imagine having so many clients that you have a waiting list? And being financially successul enough to save for retirement, afford your dream vacation — and have the time to actually take that vacation?
Proven Solo Success Strategies
We’ve mined the collective experience of 15 successful Solo Entrepreneur Experts who share their best advice on how to start achieving those goals — 25 proven strategies that will net you measurable results in less than three months.
