Entrepreneurship

It’s all up to you. When you’re wearing multiple hats and running your own business, all of the rewards and accomplishments are on you - but so are the setbacks and challenges. The incredible journey of solopreneurship is filled with ups and downs and those who have tasted that lifestyle often can never go back to a “normal job.” In this special season finale, Austin and Jannese share their very own stories about what inspired them to branch out into solopreneurship and what keeps them going. And they'll share never-before-heard clips from founders in previous episodes detailing their own Why: the thing that keeps them going through thick and thin that allows them to have complete control of their lives and the ultimate level of financial freedom.

Finding Your Why

No Solopreneur is an island. Even as we run our own businesses, the importance of building a community of other business owners is paramount.

Jannese and Austin talk with Ciara Imani May who runs her own hair brand and is passionate about taking care of her customers and uplifting her community. In this episode we’ll explore why small business networking as a solopreneur with a solid network allows you to have the best of both worlds: to be your own boss but still have a supportive community around you.
