Should You Take The Leap to Be a Solopreneur?
This time last year, the world turned upside down. And for me, it was still only my first few months being a solopreneur (*gulp*).
I remember the panic starting in late February when current & future projects started getting canceled and I questioned if I would ever see my comfortable six-figure corporate salary again.
ππΌ What the f* was I thinking?
ππΌ Who am I to take on clients fully on my own?
ππΌ Will people even want to hire my services?
ππΌ I literally have no background in business, where do I even start?
YOU FIGURE IT OUT.
Like...itβs only March and my company has already surpassed six-figures in revenue year-to-date...type of figure-it-out. WEβRE LESS THAN 12 WEEKS INTO 2021!
Thatβs the kind of magic that comes with taking a chance on yourself, taking action to build confidence, and having a vision bigger than yourself. (Yeah, I said COMPANY earlier which includes my small and mighty team of 4, not including external support).
If youβre reading this while second-guessing if you βshouldβ take the next step, Iβm telling you YES.
1 million times yes.
If I figured it out ~in the middle of a pandemonium~ I know you can, too.
ARE YOU IN?!

PS (because this transparency can be important): when I decided to put in my notice at work and commit to fully building my own business, I had up to 6 months of basic expenses saved in a high yield savings account, which would cover rent, essential bills and groceries for this period of time if I didnβt make a single dollar. I still had about $10K in student loan debt, but quickly paid it off after a few paychecks. No other income was available from family, outside investments, etc. Everyone is at a different financial situation, but this one was mine!
