Running a solo business can feel like operating without a map at times. Sometimes, you can stumble through the path, figuring things out as you go. Other days, you look around and realize that you’ve wandered pretty far off course.

One of the hardest parts is not having anyone to rely on for guidance. That’s why community matters so much for solopreneurs. Rather than operating in a vacuum, you can bounce ideas off other people. Or, you may find that community reduces your feelings of loneliness and isolation.

The sooner you find (or build!) a community, the easier it becomes to navigate the inevitable ups and downs of being a solopreneur.
