Whether you’re a solopreneur or have a team helping you run your business, I see you. 

I see you bringing your passions to life, sharing them with the world, creating your own opportunities and spaces outside of what mainstream society offers. 

I see you with your brick-and-mortar boutique, with products carefully curated for your local community. I see you behind the counter, chatting with customers, informally gathering market intelligence, enjoying the business you’ve built. But I also see the countless hours navigating inventory systems, managing vendor contracts and payments, and figuring out payroll in addition to handling customer service – all tasks that pull you away from the in-store experience you love providing. 

I see you with your solopreneur consultancy offering specialized expertise to a niche market. Yet, operational tasks like building compliance frameworks, tracking project milestones, and handling billing cycles can drain time and energy that could be better spent crafting tailored solutions for your clients. These day-to-day pressures can make it feel like the admin is running you, not the other way around.

On top of these challenges, navigating entrepreneurship in cisheteronormative, neurotypical and able-bodied spaces presents even more challenges for some of us who share in these identities. The microagressions, the absence of accommodations, and the lack of a strong operational foundation can knock the wind out of the sails of even the most passionate of entrepreneurs. Every moment can feel like you’re paddling upstream and barely moving forward.
