Shift your strategy, not your sanity. Smarter revenue starts here.
No one’s going to steal it, and if they do, they probably won’t execute it as well as you. If you don’t test your idea in the real world, you risk wasting time building something no one wants. Talk to potential customers, refine your messaging, and tweak your offering based on real feedback.
No time to listen? Read the summary: Smart Money Moves For Solopreneurs - Not As Obvious As You May Think
Transitioning tips:
Build up 3–12 months of cash reserves before making the leap.
Don’t go full-time unless you have paying clients and a repeatable client acquisition process.
Side hustles can be a great way to test the waters and gain confidence.
Financial planning basics:
Have 3–6 months of emergency savings.
Avoid desperation—take only the right clients, not just any client.
Saving for big goals on inconsistent income:
Pay yourself first.
Set aside money monthly in a dedicated account to build momentum and motivation.
Retirement planning options for solopreneurs:
Start small: IRA or Roth IRA.
Grow into SEP IRA, Simple IRA, or Solo 401(k) as income increases.
For high earners: consider a defined benefit plan (personal pension).
Use tax deductions and plan structures creatively for long-term gain.
Pricing advice:
Use the “1/3 rule”: 1/3 for overhead (your pay), 1/3 for expenses, 1/3 for profit.
Don’t undercharge—factor in taxes, benefits, and growth.
Avoid pricing based on what your employer billed—solopreneur costs are different.
