What do we mean by "solopreneur"? A solopreneur is a self-employed professional who has founded their own business and who manages the business without the help of a partner or employees. In other words, they are a solo entrepreneur. This can include a wide range of people, including independent consultants, financial planners, and coaches, to name a few.

Estimated Time: The class includes just over 45 minutes of video content. The time to complete the class will vary, depending on how long it takes you to complete the action steps. This class will give you an overview of what you need to do to launch your business with a solid foundation.
