Ever have a conversation with somebody and leave feeling like you just drank a cup of coffee because their high energy is just so contagious?That recently happened to us during a conversation covering legal and tax pointers for solopreneurs. We know, not always the most upbeat topic, but let us tell you, this chat was so energizing and so informative!We invited Mark Kohler on the show and if you aren’t familiar with Mark, it’s time to get familiar. To say he has a wealth of expertise in tax, legal, wealth management, estate planning, and asset protection, is an understatement.He has litera…

We always say that going solo in business doesn’t mean you’re alone. And we can’t stress this point enough. You do not, and should not, carry the weight of an entire business on your shoulders.

So how can you overcome this?Well, one of the ways is by hiring a coach and if you clicked on this episode, chances are we’ve already piqued your interest with this topic, so we’re glad you’re tuning in.Today, we're diving de…

Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything that professionals tell you to do in your business to make it successful and something just doesn’t feel right or isn’t clicking?For many of us solopreneurs, we start our own businesses to feel more fulfilled in our careers, but what do you do when that isn’t happening?Well, let us ask you this, have you ever considered applying the concept of Human Design to your business?You may not have even heard about this concept, and that will all change in today's episode.We invited Mel McSherry on to help you become the architect of your success.…

Shut your eyes and think of a stereotypical salesman.If you’re like me (Carly), you’re imagination may have immediately transported you to a car dealership, or a person with a briefcase ready to give you a pitch.That’s how I always used to think about sales, and frankly, why I was always turned off to that profession.But then, over time, I started meeting people who revolutionized the industry, and turned my original connotation into one that thinks of people who can be relied on as trusty sources of helpful information.Tom Martin, is one of those people.Tom is a seasoned expert in turni…

OK, if we're being honest, the topic for today’s episode is just as much for us as it is for you. We have been behind the scenes creating some awesome products for solopreneurs, and as the marketing gal (Carly) for LifeStarr, it’s been up to me to develop a launch plan.It’s been a little stressful because we want to get it just right. Now, we are offering more than courses, but those are definitely included, so when we looked at our inbox to see that there was a gal interested in being on our show who helps course creators make a lucrative living without launching, we just knew we had to…

Alright, you guys. So we actually don't know how this episode is going to go. This could be our best-performing episode to date that people just can't get enough of or it could totally flop!We decided to take a different approach, and instead of interviewing a guest today, or at least a human guest, we thought it would be fun to interview ChatGPT and have it answer questions about solopreneurship.It was really entertaining. We didn't really have a plan for this episode. We just wanted to see how it would go!It was really interesting, and it validated a lot of our assumptions. It made us think …

One of the greatest things about being a solopreneur is that you can design a business around your desired workstyle and actually follow your passions.But here’s the thing.

When you were a kid and somebody mentioned hypnosis, odds are you imagined somebody swinging a medallion in front of you while saying “you are getting sleepy.” As adults, you may be imagining a show in Vegas where hypnotists have volunteers do ridiculous things in front of an audience.What we don’t often think about, and what we really should know about, is the true science behind hypnosis and how incredibly beneficial it can be for a variety of areas in your life, especially for solopreneurs looking to build a business and a life they love.So, we invited Victoria Gallagher onto the show…

We speak with a lot of solopreneurs every week, and have started to see a pattern with some of the most successful ones: they have accountability partners or accountability groups.Because this has come up so much recently, we want to pull an episode from the vault that we recorded over a year ago, fittingly called: Expert Advice For Holding Yourself Accountable On Your Solo Journey.In this episode we had on The Accountability Pit-Bull,” Anne Bachrach, who says that having someone to answer to on a regular basis about your progress is a powerful motivator. She believes that personal accoun…

"I’m a consultant." We've said that sentence before and so have countless others. In theory, many solopreneurs can call themselves consultants, but that doesn’t mean they’re successful ones.

This was likely the longest interview we’ve had to date, and we asked our guest if we could record a part 2 multiple times because we still didn’t think it was enough time. We could listen to him talk for hours, and we don’t say that often.We invited Johnathan (or JP) Price on the show to share his journey, and discuss his background, mindset and growth tactics.Listeners, let us tell you, you are in for a treat.JP went from living in his parent’s attic to building a $20 million business that started as a hobby, but it wasn’t always smooth sailing. If you want to hear about his ups, …
