The Solopreneur Q&A We Should Have Done Years Ago

From The Life-First Solopreneur · 15:23

Show by Joe Rando and Carly Ries

After hundreds of episodes, Carly and Joe realized they had never done a Q&A. So they gathered the most common questions solopreneurs ask in LifeStarr office hours, the community, and their inboxes, and they’re answering them one by one.In this first Q&A episode, Carly shares how she structures her week around kids and family by locking in the non-negotiables first and finding work pockets around them. Joe breaks down how to set client boundaries without losing clients, why boundaries should be a policy and not a notion, and why diversifying your income gives you the power to protect them. Then they tackle a big one. What do you do when you feel guilty for not working?Here’s what you’ll learn:How to build your week around family life first and work secondWhy matching your work to your energy level makes early mornings (or late nights) workHow to communicate your hours so clients respect themWhy breaking your own rules “just this once” trains clients to expect itHow having only one or two clients weakens your ability to hold boundariesWhere work guilt really comes from and how to rewire itWhy rest and daydreaming are performance toolsWhat the ownership trap is and how to avoid itHave a question for a future episode?
