In part two of my conversation with Dale L. Roberts, Dale shares real-world advice and actionable steps for solopreneurs at every stage. We dig into practical considerations when starting a solo business—like making sure you have a financial safety net, getting educated about your field before “burning the boats,” and the powerful impact of finding a mentor. For those who’ve already taken the leap (or are feeling stuck), Dale talks about the importance of showing up every day—even when motivation fades—and dedicating your time to actions that truly move the business forward.
Dale also highlights the need for building a support network and not isolating yourself, no matter how “solo” your business is. We both agree that regular breaks and self-care are crucial—Dale even schedules quarterly vacations to recharge. If you’re a new solopreneur or one looking for inspiration to push through a tough season, this episode is packed with honest, applicable wisdom you can use right away.
