LifeStarr Academy

Build a Life-First business, one skill at a time. Free.

Dozens of one-hour sessions with expert guests, deeper courses on the subjects that trip solopreneurs up, and a community to work through it all with. Every bit of it free.

Free forever. No credit card.

✧ The hard way

Most of us learn to run a business the hard way. A video here, a blog post there, advice from someone whose business looks nothing like yours. It is scattered, it contradicts itself, and almost none of it was built for a solopreneur trying to keep life first.

The Academy is the opposite. One place, built for a business of one, taught by people who have actually done it.

On-demand and free · plus podcasts and blogs

Dozens of solopreneur-focused one-hour sessions, podcasts and blogs. Every one free.

Every month, we sit down with an expert who has already solved the thing you are stuck on, and we keep the recording. And the sessions are only the start. There is a growing library of podcast episodes and blog posts too, all made for a business of one. Watch, listen, or read, whatever fits the day you are having. It is all sorted by topic, so whatever you need this week, someone here has already walked through it.

A few examples under each topic · the full library holds far more
