Build a right-fit, sustainable, and satisfying business.

Learn the basics you need to build a solo business for your life, brain, and bank account. My human-centered approach to business-building provides a more holistic approach beyond the basic business plan.

We’ll explore business foundations for your solo biz, including:

  • Crafting a business model & offering(s).

  • Creating financial & admin foundations.

  • Building a simple brand, digital presence, and outreach strategy.

  • Creating a culture that integrates your life into your business strategy.

This is for solopreneurs, side hustlers, and creatives looking for a strategic and streamlined approach to business.

You’re in the right place if…

  • You’re curious about starting a freelancing side hustle or side gig to supplement (or eventually replace) your day job.

  • You’re exploring what it means to be self-employed to see if it’s a good fit for you, your goals, and your life.

  • You want to know more about what it takes to bootstrap a tiny business.

You might look elsewhere if…

  • You want to follow the venture funding, capital-seeking, start-up grind entrepreneur track.

  • You’re interested in getting into MLM (multi-level marketing). (MLMs are a scam.)
