We are without a doubt living in the age of the solopreneur. But what actually is a solopreneur and how do you start your journey today? Read on…

Imagine waking at around 7am and heading downstairs in your PJ’s to make a coffee.

You casually water your hall plant, set up your yoga mat for a nice morning stretch, call a couple of family members, make a nutritious breakfast and finally settle on the sofa in your slacks with your laptop and cuppa.

As the morning passes, you’re answering emails, making calls, creating images, writing posts, coding apps, tutoring students online, or doing whatever your online business requires.

You stop at 1pm to meet a friend for lunch, and your afternoon is full with a class you want to attend, your child’s school play, a favor for a family member, etc.

Your life is your own, your time is your own, and your days are filled with doing what you want to do, from where you want to do it.
