Monday Morning Jumpstart:
Benefits of Being a Solopreneur
Thinking about becoming a solopreneur? Focus on the benefits of working for yourself …
This week’s Monday Motivation for Writers session goes deep – as Success Coach Ted Capshaw and AWAI Director of Training, Jade Trueblood, discuss why you need to focus on the “true benefits” of what being a writer means to you.
The benefits could be having more time, unlimited earning potential, financial security, or working from anywhere you want (as long as there’s a Wi-Fi connection). When you have a clear picture of the benefits, it makes it easier to take the first steps toward your writer’s life.
Join us every Monday morning for a boost of writing motivation, plus tips and strategies to make sure you're staying on track and moving towards your goals all year.

PROS:
- My life, my time

- I still have time commitments but they are my time commitments
- Any situations that arise are mine to deal with no need to wait for others to make time to discuss
- No interruptions that are 'others' created
- Live where you want to, van, RV, Apartment, Beach, Villa, Alaska...
CONS:
- IF you are not motivated enough by your "why" you can become disheartened, make your 'why' super strong.
- Not paying proper taxes, be the boss, learn the systems
- Allowing distractions to become the squirrel, shoo away the squirrels
