Welcome back to SOLO Diaries!

If you’re a beauty/wellness solopreneur who wants fewer fires, clearer numbers, and calmer weeks (without earning less), this preview with Susannah Bolich is for you. An OG Qnity alum, former intrapreneur/leader, and now solo ~4 years, Susannah rebuilt around simple prep-and-follow-up systems and light-touch tracking—so her time actually pays her back.

Why this matters: A full calendar can still mean thin margins and burnout. Susannah shows how preparing before the visit, following up after, and tracking a few key numbers turns “I feel” into “I know”—and compounds into real wins (including buying her first home at 27).

In this free preview, you’ll hear:

• How Qnity’s “Missing Link” (prepare & follow-up) boosted rebook/retention and confidence

• Why tracking just a few numbers weekly beats living in spreadsheets you’ll never open

• The shift from “hope & vibes” to facts on paper—and how it calmed money stress

• The ripple effect: first quarter of tracking → ~$1,000/week sales lift → $5,000 saved → a first home (later sold after a ~75% value increase)

• What actually changes when you go solo (cash-flow “feel,” ownership of mistakes, seasons hitting harder)

Want the full, tactical playbook?
