The perks of being a solopreneur

The term solopreneur is not brand-new but also not very common. It is meant to describe a professional who works and runs his or her business alone. The most obvious difference between an entrepreneur and a solopreneur is that a solopreneur conducts, owns and runs their business on their own. They don’t hire a staff of employees but choose to outsource certain aspects to grow their business. Does this sound ideal to you? Well, we can list even more perks of being a solopreneur.

Only you get to choose

Their are no stakeholders, partners or employees to consult or agree with, so you can make the decisions. You call the shots.

You can pivot

Again, with having your own business and ideas and no others depending on you, you can pivot when you see fit. You are actually as agile as can be.

Your time, your schedules

You can work how and when you like. You manage your own time, which offers great flexibility but also requires a lot of discipline. Because there’s no one else to pick up the slack and cover for you.

be super creative

Building a business requires determinations, skill and creativity. But especially for the solopreneur; all strategies are your own, for example when to hire outside parties to assist, or manage certain tasks.Your business solutions are not standard, so you become a creative expert in automation and outsourcing.

success is all yours

Every success is because you created it, is because you seized it and you made it possible. Every risk that you take can lead to success and the path to that success is all in your own hands but the win is also all yours.

All these perks also provide challenges, because with just one person responsible for all the success or failure of the business, this requires a strong personality. Someone who is confident, has great intuition and also knows when to outsource, when to partner up or when to take a step back. Being a solopreneur doesn’t have to be a lonely or the final stop in your professional journey. Like we mentioned, you’re very agile, so the road to entrepreneurship is always just one exit away.
