the "solo" doesn't always belong in "solopreneur"

Hey Reader I don't know about you, but I keep getting prompts lately that have me running back to my values. I had forgotten how important play was to me, until I started doing more speaking again and the process felt different. The anxiety I had the last time I did a bunch of speaking gigs seems to have dissipated, and I find myself excited for conversations again. And part of it is because I'm thinking about playing and experimenting and exploring. I'm playing with metaphors when I talk to people about my perspective on how we change our relationship with money. I'm storytelling. And I feel creative. And it seems like the ideas are landing. That and the idea that while I want to bring in new clients to work 1:1 with, I also just really want people to work on their money stuff. At the end of the day, I want all of us to lead easier lives, without the unnecessary suffering. Yesterday, in my workshop I spoke about how we sometimes need someone to help us create the sense of safety we need to explore our stories. We need people. Which is something that me a few years ago would have laughed you out the room if you'd said that to me. But people are inspiring. A few weeks ago I got the invite to talk at Disobedient Business® LIVE: The Newbie Palooza with Pippa and Lucy, and I knew I liked the way they rolled from following them for a good while. When I clicked through to the checkout page above, I was inspired by their "total value" statement, because it was so transparent and so respectful. Whether you buy a ticket to join or not, you should look at that checkout page because their values shine through. I was already super excited about the event itself. The free tickets are here, and some fantastic topics are being covered including:
But also do yourself a favour and check out the paid ticket link as an example of how your values can come through without you having to talk explicitly about them. Here's to hoping you have an inspired, playful day! Brittany x Affiliate links above. I earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. |

Hey Reader We kicked off Week 1 in my new group offering this week, and man it reminded me of my first week of teaching way back when. My journal entry read something along the lines of, the kids have bodies and bodies have physical needs. 17 years later, and I'm living those feelings again. I'm a little embarrassed that I forgot until more than halfway through our first workshop that people could use a break. But someone said something super kind. They alluded to me having things together....
Hey Reader, A very quick last email to remind you that registration for More Money at the End of the Month is closing up tonight. If it doesn't feel right for you right now, that's all good! But if now IS the time, we'd love to see you join! We kick off with the first workshop tomorrow morning at 10AM PST/1PM EST. If you aren't able to make it, no worries. It'll be recorded and you have me all day on Wednesday (and every Wednesday for 3 months) to get feedback. Hope to see you there! Brittany
Hey Reader, Last week, I talked about vanity metrics, and honestly, I don't think I did a good job explaining what they are in the context of revenue. Vanity metrics are stats that look great but don't necessarily translate into something meaningful. So revenue, for example. Revenue is great to know, but $200k revenue that gives the business owner $30k of take-home pay is probably a lot more work to generate and maintain than $80k of revenue with $40k of take-home pay. And that's where I...
