Do you also think solopreneurship to be easy and glamorous? I would say take off your glasses and see the reality!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but no, solopreneurship is NOT about sunshine and rainbows all the time.

It’s tempting to break free of the shackles of the corporate world and begin working on your passion project. However, in no way is solopreneurship less challenging than a 9-to-5 drill.

Hear it straight from a solopreneur who has been figuring it out on her own for the last 4 years!

  1. Extreme loneliness

As a solopreneur, you hustle alone. On your low days, you’ll cry until you have the strength to wipe your tears and get back to work.

When you fail, there’ll be no one to have your back. But when you win, they’ll come to you to be a part of your victory!

2. Donning multiple hats

A solopreneur is a professional juggler! They manage multiple responsibilities singlehandedly. The continuous struggle to give your best shot at every role can get quite overwhelming.

3. Bouts of self-doubts

As a solopreneur, you’ll have frequent moments of self-doubts. Overthinking will cripple you for days. But again, you’ll come out of this darkness on your own!

Is solopreneurship difficult? Absolutely!

Do I love my solopreneurship journey? A big YES!

Will I give up on my solopreneur dreams for 9-to-5 stability? NOPE!
