For months, our newsletter went out like clockwork. Helpful? Sure. But honestly… it felt a little flat.
A few weeks ago, I was working on our latest issue and asked myself the question every solopreneur secretly asks when they see yet another email hit their inbox: “Would I actually read this?”
Cue dramatic pause. The answer was: maybe (when I really want the answer to be “ABSOLUTELY”!)
So we tore it apart, in the best way. We stopped writing at solopreneurs and started writing for them, with the goal to make every email a small spark of motivation, education, and inspiration in your week.
If you’re ready for stories that resonate, strategies that work, and ideas made just for solopreneurs you’ll love what’s coming next.
Because a good newsletter informs you. A great one fuels you.

🔎 Lead Gen
Find hidden leads in abandoned conversations. Go through your DMs, emails, or discovery call notes from the last six months. You’ll likely find people who were “interested" but not ready.
💰 Sales
Sell the “next step,” not the whole staircase. When talking to a potential client, don’t overwhelm them with your entire process or package. Focus on getting them to take just the next logical step, whether that’s booking a call, downloading a guide, or saying yes to a mini-offer.
🛠️ Productivity
At the end of each workday, write down exactly what you’ll start with tomorrow, and close all tabs except those related to that task. You’ll eliminate morning decision fatigue and instantly re-enter flow when you sit down. It’s like passing the baton to your future self.

🚀 LifeStarr App Update: Big Progress Behind the Scenes!
The team’s been hard at work this week making the LifeStarr App faster, cleaner, and more reliable, all so it feels effortless when you finally get your hands on it.
Here’s a peek at what’s been happening behind the curtain:
Tasks That Just Work: The app now updates your existing tasks instead of creating duplicates. Your to-do list will stay neat and accurate, even when things are syncing in the background.
Stronger Email Magic: We’ve ironed out a few pesky issues in how the app talks to your email. Once you connect your account, messages and contacts will flow the way they should, smooth and simple.
Code Cleanup = Speed Boost: The team simplified a lot of behind-the-scenes systems, which means fewer bugs, faster updates, and a stronger foundation moving forward.
Database Upgrade Power-Up: We’re in the middle of a major database upgrade that will make the app more powerful and stable as our community grows.
All of this work is invisible now, but it’s what makes everything feel amazing later. We’re getting closer to the polished, rock-solid experience you’ve been waiting for!
