Ep #17 4 Things To Declutter as a Solopreneur
Getting organized as a solopreneur is essential to creating a balanced personal and professional life.
Many solopreneurs are organized, but most that I speak with have at least one area in their life that could use some organizing attention.
Whether it is a long to-do list, or an overwhelming closet full of clothes you never wear, papers that haven’t been filed, or electronic clutter, the best way to get organized is to start by decluttering.
Some solopreneurs are naturally organized. But many people struggle with organizing everything that comes with running a successful business. Today I wanted to talk about some ways to get your life organized, so that your business feels less overwhelming.
Being organized doesn’t mean having everything figured out, and sometimes things have to get messy before you can get yourself in order. Today’s episode is all about how to get organized in a way that works best for you.

Episode #16: Anti-Perfectionism: 9 Ways Mistakes Can be the Key to Growth
Mistakes can be rich opportunities for growth and learning, if you know how to use them for good.
Most solopreneurs avoid making mistakes. It’s natural to not want to make mistakes, and some mistakes can be caused by carelessness or simply not paying enough attention to detail. But I’m not talking about mistakes made by lack of awareness today.
Today I’m talking about the kinds of mistakes that are essential for your growth as a solopreneur.
The most successful solopreneurs and entrepreneurs have made lots of mistakes throughout their journeys. It’s impossible to not make any mistakes, and yet I find that many solopreneurs get stuck in perfectionism because they are too afraid to make a mistake in their business.
Today’s episode is all about how being an anti-perfectionist and learning from your mistakes can be the best thing that happens to you and your business. Find the full transcript and other resources at richlysuccessful.com/16

Ep #15 The 4 Main Reasons You May Procrastinate as a Solopreneur
Procrastination seems like a problem for solopreneurs, but it can really be a helpful clue if you dig deeper.
If you are a solopreneur, you have most likely experienced procrastination to some extent when it comes to your business. You may think procrastination is a problem that needs to be solved with better calendars or scheduling, productivity tricks, time blocking or other tangible solutions.
But what if procrastination wasn’t a bad thing? Instead, what if you looked at procrastination as a clue that something in your business or life is out of alignment. What if instead of getting mad at yourself for procrastinating, you asked yourself some questions that bring the clarity you need to get back into alignment?
Today’s episode is all about the four reasons you procrastinate, and four questions to ask that bring back the excitement and motivation it takes to create a successful business as a solopreneur. Find the full transcript and other resources at richlysuccessful.com/15

Ep #14 Creating Better Business Boundaries
Strong business boundaries are essential to protecting your time, energy and profit as a solopreneur.
Boundaries protect your energy. They are essential to a healthy, happy life, and if you don’t have strong boundaries in place in your business, you will risk having energy leaks that translate into the loss of time, freedom, and money and could eventually lead to burnout that could shut down your business altogether.
What exactly do I mean when I say boundaries? And how do you know how to create them and stick to them? That’s what this week’s episode is all about. Find out what a boundary is, how it protects you, and your clients, and why creating them and sticking to them will make your clients feel safer to work with you.

Ep #13 It’s Not About the Money: The Ripple Effect of Your Successful Business
Creating a successful service-based business can cause a ripple effect of good in the world that goes far beyond money or monetary wealth.
Have you ever found yourself saying or thinking, “I don’t care about money.” Or “money isn’t that important to me” or something similar?
When your business is bringing in plenty of money, your priorities may be different from when you just started your business and needed money for survival and financial freedom. Many solopreneurs get stuck in this plateaued state, and it makes it hard to remember why you started your business in the first place.
If you’ve reached a plateau in your business and are no longer motivated by finances, today’s episode is for you. Find the full transcript and other resources at richlysuccessful.com/13

Episode 11: 6 Ways to Take Care of Your Nervous System as a Solopreneur
Taking care of your nervous system is probably the most important thing you could ever do as a solopreneur.
You may have never learned how, and you might not even know what I’m talking about when I say it’s important to take care of your nervous system.
You may be familiar with the term self-care, but that can be a vague buzz word that brings visions of trips to the spa and manicures to mind. That’s not exactly what I’m talking about.
When I talk about self-care, I’m talking about self-regulation of your nervous system. It’s brain science and its spiritual, and it’s the only way to stay healthy and happy while creating a successful, sustainable business.
In today’s episode, you’ll learn what it means to take care of your nervous system and how to do it. Find the full transcript and other resources at richlysuccessful.com/11

Episode 10: There’s No Competition Because There’s Only One You
As a solopreneur, you may fear competition in your market, but there’s only one you.
As a business owner you probably hear scare tactics from others who say, “there’s a lot of competition in that business, are you sure you want to compete?” Competition in business is something you might worry about, especially if your particular service market is flooded. This fear of competing can make you hesitate to market or network for your business. You may have defeating thoughts that creep in and tell you that your market is saturated, and your business will never stand a chance with so much competition.
This thought can be overwhelming and stop you from doing what you need to do to be successful and rich. And it’ll stop you from serving the clients who need and want your service. But let’s turn this around. Today’s episode is all about why there really is no competition in your service-based industry. Find the full transcript and other resources at richlysuccessful.com/10

Episode 9: How to Build an Invisible Web of Connection as a Solopreneur
Connection with real humans is the number one most important factor in creating a successful business and life.
This week’s episode is about real human connection and how it is essential in building a successful business as a solopreneur, especially when you are building a service-based business.
As a solopreneur, you are probably spending a lot of time and money on marketing for your business. You are probably using social media, maybe some paid advertising, and potentially some in person networking.
If you are in the earlier stages of your business, you may be tempted to give up when you don’t see immediate results. The truth is, one in every five small businesses fail within the first year or two.
But the first two years of business can be the most important, because you are creating the foundation of what I call, the invisible web of connection. Listen to this episode to find out how to create this web. Find the full transcript and other resources at richlysuccessful.com/9.

Being able to trust your intuition is an essential superpower for success as a solopreneur.
Do you feel like you can tap into your intuition at any time? Can you trust it?

Episode 6: Are Negative Sales Beliefs Stopping You from Serving?
When you have negative beliefs about sales and selling, you could be blocking the clients who need you most.
Sales and selling skills are essential to your business as a solopreneur, but many solopreneurs absolutely hate selling. Do any of these thoughts sound familiar? “Selling is slimy.” “They’re just trying to sell you something.” Or “I hate salespeople.” Do any of those statements sound familiar?
The truth is, selling and sales can have a negative reputation, especially if you’ve come from a service-based profession like a teacher or a nurse, or any other job that didn’t appear to be a sales job. If you have some strong resistance to sales, today’s episode is for you. It’s all about the ways your sales resistance may be stopping you from serving the clients who need you the most.

Episode 5: How to go from Hustle to Flow as a Solopreneur
Getting into a flow state can help you find more freedom, balance, and creativity in your business as a solopreneur.
Finding your flow means getting into a state where you easily access the creative, intuitive part of you that generates million-dollar ideas and dreams up new ways of helping your clients with what they need most.
Finding your flow is not about learning something new. The flow state is your natural state when you feel calm, safe and relaxed. Instead, finding your flow is more about learning how to access this flow state when your survival brain wants you to stay safe and hustle.

Episode 4: Is Hustle Mode Blocking Your Flow as a Solopreneur?
Early on in business as a solopreneur, it can be easy to get stuck in “hustle mode.” This “extra hard work” could actually be slowing your growth.
If you recently started your business as a solopreneur, you are probably familiar with hustle mode.
Hustle mode simply means you are doing everything and anything to get your business the traction it needs to survive. You may wake up extra early and stay up extra late.
Or maybe you offer extreme discounts instead of charging your full price. Maybe you are taking on jobs you hate with clients who aren’t respectful or appreciative of your service.
If this sounds like you, hustle mode might be blocking your flow. Today’s episode is all about how to recognize and stop the hustle so you can find your flow. Find the full transcript and other resources at richlysuccessful.com/4

Episode 2: Freedom and Finding Your Flow as a Solopreneur
How do you find your freedom and flow as a solopreneur?
If you are like me and most of my clients, you probably started your journey as a solopreneur with dreams of unlimited freedom and the time to do all the things you want in life- the things you never had the time to do when you were an employee.
In fact, freedom and being your own boss seems to be the #1 reason most solopreneurs start their businesses, besides a burning desire to serve others.
I know that for me, I wanted the time to do everything my job kept me away from, but the reality of the early days of solopreneurship took me down rabbit holes of time wasters that made me feel everything but free.
It’s hard at first to find this freedom in your business. But you can create the life you want while doing good in the world with your business. Join me today as I explore the concept of freedom and finding your flow. Find the full transcript and other resources at richlysuccessful.com/2
