The Rise of the Solopreneur
If you enjoy working independently, then you might be the perfect fit for a solopreneur. Many solopreneurs enjoy working alone and do not want to have a boss to report to. You may even already have some ideas in the works for your business.
Are you not sure what a solopreneur does? Many people confuse this title with “entrepreneur”- while they have many similarities, they do also have some essential differences that you will want to be aware of.
What is a solopreneur?
A solopreneur is an individual who runs their own business. They do not require any co-founders to start up and do not have any W-2 employees. The solopreneur is comfortable running all of their business tasks and projects themselves. This requires that they have many skills on a broad range of topics.
A solopreneur may outsource some of their work to contractors or freelancers. However, they do not need a W-2 from you. This allows you to still work with professionals to help build your brand, while not having any employees.
A solopreneur can fall into many different industries. The following are some examples of a solopreneur:
Freelance graphic designer or writer Virtual assistant Business consultant Small business owner Social media managerIt is expected that independent workers receive more career opportunities within the coming years. Plus, records indicate that a majority of solopreneurs feel more comfortable working on their own and prefer it over traditional jobs. Many also feel less stressed with their work and believe it is much better for their mental health.
If you want a job that provides you with consistent growth and satisfaction, then a solopreneur career could be a perfect match for you. With a more flexible life, you can build your schedule to suit you the best.
However, many people confuse solopreneurs with entrepreneurs. It is important that you know the difference if you want to enter into this profession. A solopreneur is the founder and sole employee of the business. An entrepreneur will usually have a team that they manage. Overall, solopreneurs have a lot more freedom between the two positions.
Here, we will cover the main differences in more detail below.
What a Solopreneur Does
A solopreneur is in charge of every aspect of their brand and business. They usually will handle a majority of business tasks and projects on their own. While they may outsource some tasks or hire professionals to help them with the work they cannot do, a solopreneur is the only employee of their business.
For example, a solopreneur may hire a graphic designer to help them build and create a website. This process is not part of the day-to-day business operation of the brand, but it is still essential for the business’s growth. As a solopreneur, do not hesitate to work with freelancer professionals when you cannot handle the task on your own.
Additionally, the solopreneur is the founder of the business. They are responsible for creating all of their products or services and getting them to their customers.
What an Entrepreneur Does
While an entrepreneur may start their business on their own, it usually does not stay that way for long. They will hire a team to handle projects and tasks- mainly creating the products or services of the company. The employees are also responsible for ensuring the customers get what they pay for. In short, an entrepreneur delegates more work than the solopreneur.
An entrepreneur is more like a manager. They run their business by overseeing the work of the people that they hire. Many people feel more comfortable as a solopreneur, because they are not in a manager position.
Solopreneurs and Professional Growth
As you build your business, you will start noticing more opportunities coming your way. Once you get the ball rolling, trust us, it gets easier. That initial “push” can be very tough, but soon, you will have the chance for plenty of professional growth.
This professional growth can include: Higher cash flows Reaching career goals Learning new skills Gaining more experienceProfessional growth is essential for any solopreneur to succeed. The more you learn, the better you can use your skills to improve your business. This creates a positive cycle that allows you and your business to continue growing and improving together.
The best way to grow as a solopreneur is to develop your network. When more people are aware of you, you will have more opportunities to build business relationships with other professionals. You can gain more exposure, and more work or sales, through your network.
Overall, running your own business will put your natural talents to the test. You will work hard to develop them into professional skills, allowing you to grow further and earn a steady income.
How You Know You are Ready to be a Solopreneur
There are several signs that you are ready to build your own business.
Here are some of them:
You have a passion You believe in your talents and ideas You have a brand idea in place You have a product or service to offer You are ready to learn and make a planWhile there are many signs, the most important is that you love to learn. Solopreneurs need to be a “jack of all trades”- since they handle everything within their business. This means that you will need to learn plenty of skills and techniques in order to succeed.
Of course, all solopreneurs need something they are passionate about. Have you heard the saying “If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life”, that is true for solopreneurs. You will need to invest a lot of your time into managing your business. However, this is going to be what makes you grow.
Plus, when your audience sees that you love your career, they will be much more interested in what you have to offer them.
Create a Single Business Focus
The first step in starting your new business is to choose a single focus. Solopreneurs usually start by catering to a niche market, where they can build an active and interested audience. You will want to have a steady customer base before you move on to anything else.
