Ever stumble into entrepreneurship by accident? Dylan Redekop did — and he’s built a business that lets him spend time with his family, stay fit, and still grow his newsletter.
We get into freelancing vs. solopreneurship vs. contracting, why balance matters more than hustle, and the little systems that keep ideas from slipping through the cracks (while still allowing us to be present parents).
Looking for a way to find balance to run your business and get the restorative time you need? Take the Business Overwhelm Quiz.
Top Takeaways
- Freelancer vs. Solopreneur: Freelancers sell their skills to other businesses, while solopreneurs often build a one-person business with products or services. Both models can work, but knowing how you identify helps clarify your work.
- Balancing Contract Work and Side Projects: Choosing projects that complement each other creates a symbiotic relationship instead of competing for time.
- Making Space for Hobbies and Health: Fitness, hobbies, and restorative time aren’t luxuries—they’re essential to being a better parent, partner, and business owner.
