Entrepreneurship can be lonely and soul sucking, if you’re not careful. It can also be an incredibly meaning-filled opportunity for soul searching and values alignment.
In this episode, we’re talking with Rachel Meltzer about her experience shifting from a lonely freelancer mindset to a community-driven, meaning-making, soul-infusing entrepreneur mindset. We talk about how she’s made that shift, her experiences with van life and solo traveling, and her path to finding herself.
If you need a little positive soul infusion as we head into 2025 (who doesn’t??), this episode is for you.
Key takeaways:
- Transitioning from freelancing to business ownership requires a mindset shift and being proactive in your marketing.
- Always follow up with people more than you think you should!
- Building connections and nurturing relationships is key to avoiding loneliness in entrepreneurship AND finding clients as a freelancer.
- Women in business often struggle with underpricing and seeking validation, but it's important to value yourself and charge what you’re worth.
- The best part of running a business as a woman is the opportunity to connect with and support other women in the entrepreneurial community.
