Being a solopreneur speaker has a lot of perks. You are able to move quickly and efficiently, you can earn higher profits than working for someone or having a big team, you have the freedom to choose when you work, and you get to be your own boss — all things most of the working world would envy. But being a solopreneur speaker doesn’t come without its challenges. Some of them can really get you down. Some can even jeopardize your livelihood. In this series we are going to look at the top 3 problems many solopreneur speakers face, and what you can do about them.

1. Becoming overwhelmed and
burning out can put your business
at a serious risk—you may start
underperforming, get sloppy with
your talks and tasks, make mistakes,
or suffer from crippling mental and
emotional fatigue.

2. All too often we look at the
overarching goals, and like a
marathon runner, just keep pushing
until we get there. But no marathon
runner starts by running a marathon
straight off. It takes time, practice,
and daily goals.

3. Make use of virtual assistants,
freelancers, and independent
contractors who can make your job
easier and allow you to focus on
the areas you’re more skilled in,
and that will have a higher payoff
for you.

4. Then add 3 additional smaller tasks.
Start with 5 major priorities per day.
The smaller tasks should be things
you can easily knock off in between
the bigger tasks...but don’t get
distracted.

5. You need to take the time to power
your battery back up to 100%.
So make sure you are putting time
aside each week to have some fun
and release the stress that has been
building up.
