Tired of the business coaches coaching business coaches to be business coaches pyramid scheme?
Ya. Me too.
When I started my first business in 2015 I had no idea what I was doing. I had been working for many years as a Registered Nurse in an Intensive Care Unit so I never had to worry about being paid or having clients – I showed up to work and that was that!
I didn’t have a lot of extra money at the time to invest in a business program, so I started searching for all the free information I could find online and I started to see a pattern. Everyone would teach the same stuff over and over again – and leave all the truly helpful information locked behind a $2000 paywall.
I was frustrated.
It wasn’t that I “didn’t want it bad enough” or “wasn’t making the right things a priority” – I just didn’t have the money!
Fast forward a few years when my business hit the 6-figure mark and a number of my clients who had been through my group programs started reaching out to me to help them start an online business. And so The Solopreneur Survival Guide was born!
I started off mentoring a dozen people one on one and discovered I was really good at this!
In 2019 I started the podcast and grew a membership community of new entrepreneurs to over 150 subscribers. I also started a marketing agency at the beginning of 2020 and both of these businesses ran successfully beside my main business for two years. Then, in early 2022 I realized that although I did enjoy the marketing agency and the community I had built – the marketing agency wasn’t for me as it was taking time away from doing what I really wanted to do and I made the difficult decision to close it down.
My motto has always been “If I’m going to do something more than once, might as well make a system and a template” so what you’ll find here on this site are those systems and templates that have been tried and tested over 50 different niches and have been proven to be successful. From a business coach helping lash bar owners grow their business, to non-profits, to virtual violin teachers, to physical therapists, to health coaches – the strategies and business theory I share on The Solopreneur Survival Guide Podcast and the templates and implementation guides will work for your business – guaranteed or I’ll give you your money back.
Why is the Solopreneur Survival Guide Podcast Free?
Why am I not selling it as a course?
I decided to do this for a few reasons:
- I wanted to create the free podcast I wish I could have found when I first started my business
- There are already buckets of business coaches out there selling their business course for $1000 – $2000 or more and I don’t feel “you need to invest money in yourself” in order to grow a successful business
- There are a lot of Business To Business (B2B) marketing strategies being taught that really don’t apply to Business to Consumer (B2C) businesses, so I wanted to clear that up and share what actually works across all niches
- I don’t need this arm of my business to be my primary source of income. My personal development business to help highly sensitive high achievers avoid burnout so they can recover their energy, optimize their habits, and elevate their impact – that’s where I spend the most time. That being said, I am still here to answer questions in the app so please feel free to ask! I’m here for you!
What is the Solopreneur Survival Guide App?
The app is the podcast – but better! (and yes, it’s still free).
I wanted to have some worksheets and the opportunity for you to ask questions about the information we talk about on The Solopreneur Survival Guide podcast. That, and I know that you’re busy likely working at least one other job while trying to start and grow your business, so you needed something that would travel with you wherever you had to go.
The app includes:
- video and audio lessons for each podcast episode
- lots of fillable worksheets directly in the app that automatically send themselves to your email inbox
- the ability to ask questions and get feedback on your work as you go through the course
