My Solopreneur Life: the newsletter

Finally, a newsletter that gets the solopreneur struggle

You know the feeling...you're scrolling through another "entrepreneur" newsletter full of "I hit 7 figures" humble brags and wondering if you're the only one who thinks most business advice feels like it was written by someone who's never actually run their own show.

Here's the thing: I've been a solopreneur for 20 years. I know what it's really like to wear all the hats, figure things out as you go, and wonder if you're doing this whole thing right.

In each My Solopreneur Life newsletter you get:

  • 🙌 NOWS: What I'm working on (the real stuff, not the highlight reel)

  • 🤖 ROBOTS: How I and fellow solos are using AI to make work easier—no hype, just practical stuff that actually works

  • 📰 READS: Articles worth your time (when I find them) plus opps for you to share what you're reading if it’s yummy to solos

  • 🎙️ PODS: The latest episodes of the My Solopreneur Life show where I drop some real talk about solopreneur challenges

  • 👀 VISIONS: My predictions about where the solopreneur world is heading (based on 20 years of watching the cycles)

  • 💵 DEALS: Actual useful offers for readers, not endless pitches

  • ❤️ HEARTS: Quick inspiration that doesn't make you want to roll your eyes

  • ✏️ HOWS: Step-by-step breakdowns of how I actually do things (no theory, just process)

  • 5️⃣ FIVES: Customized tips for your specific Solopreneur Growth Type because we don't all work the same way

What makes My Solopreneur Life different from every other business growth newsletter?

No fake urgency. I'm not going to pretend the world will end if you don't implement my latest framework by Friday.

Real talk. Twenty years in business means I've made most of the mistakes, survived a few recessions, and learned what actually matters versus what just sounds good on social media.

Fellow solopreneur perspective. I'm not teaching from theory—I'm sharing from the trenches of running my own one-person business.

Practical over inspirational. You need systems that work, not more motivation to add to your overwhelm.

Here's what you won't get:

  • Weekly "mindset shifts" that are just repackaged self-help

  • Screenshots of revenue dashboards

  • Pressure to scale into something you never wanted to build

  • Advice from someone who's never actually done what they're teaching

The result?

You'll feel less alone in this solopreneur journey. You'll get practical guidance from someone who's actually living it. And you'll save time by getting curated insights instead of having to sort through all the noise yourself.

Plus, you will strengthen your Solopreneur Growth Type through tips specifically designed for how you naturally work, not some one-size-fits-all approach.
