What is your fave benefit of being a solopreneur?

Curious if you’ve thought of all these… [The Writer’ s Life]( December 11, 2023 "People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it." – George Bernard Shaw Happy Monday, {NAME}! When we think about the benefits of being a solopreneur, the obvious usually come to mind … No boss, control over your schedule … FREEDOM. But there are many other benefits that often get overlooked when considering this path … Like last week's discussion about [making money AND helping others at the same time](! Today, Ted and Jade cover some big ones in [this week's Monday Morning Jumpstart]( … And really open our eyes to just how many more there are that we haven't even yet considered. (Spoiler: it's a LOT.) I had no idea about the first one Ted digs into, and it can have a HUGE impact on your financial future (in an awesomely wonderful way). But also listen carefully about 11 minutes in … when Ted talks about working with clients who genuinely get your value, and who you believe in … And what it can do to your income, as well as your happiness. What do YOUR dream clients look like, {NAME}? Are they small businesses … where maybe you're doing a variety of things? Or a big company … where you're a specialist, or maybe you're even part of a team? Are they local, where you can meet in person? Or do you prefer to only communicate virtually? Are you interested in traveling? Or is that off the table? Do you want to [write for clients who support worthy causes](? Or maybe clients who share similar beliefs? Remember, this is YOUR writer's life … And working with clients that fit is one of the many, MANY benefits of being a writer. Before you head over to the Monday Morning Jumpstart, I want to make sure you saw the free Toolkit we're giving away with Barefoot Writer today, [The Profitable Niche That Pays Up to $100 Per Hour for Doing Good](. Last week we busted the myth that there's no money to be made writing for nonprofits and worthwhile causes … and proved you can make great money while helping others at the same time. So, we're giving away this Toolkit to help get you started. It's free with your Barefoot Writer Club membership (along with five other guides aimed at accelerating your earning potential!). [Go here now for more details and grab this special bonus!]( The idea of not having to choose money over helping others is something Ted has touched on numerous times here at AWAI … It's yet another benefit of this path! Even if you don't choose to write for nonprofits, you can help so many people with your words. But if you do choose to make a career out of helping people, it's critical you not minimize the monetary value in what you bring, just because your main intention is helping people. Says Ted … "When I realized that my desire to make a lot of money did not minimize my intention to help people, my business exploded, and I came to fully realize the value in what I bring."
