Transforming Your Life Through Self-Employment

Transforming Your Life Through Self-Employment

Steve CoombesSteve Coombes, also known as The Solopreneur Coach™, recognized from a young age the power of self-employment to transform lives.

Yet it took multiple failed business ventures to learn the importance of seeking help from others – especially when you’re a “company of one.”

After seeking out mentors and coaches, Steve built multiple successful businesses as a writer, coach, and multi-platform e-commerce reseller. This has allowed him to enjoy a comfortable, flexible lifestyle full of fun and travel since leaving the corporate cubicle farm for good in 2009.

Today Steve is a popular solopreneur success coach and podcast host with a vision of helping one million more follow their own dreams outside the traditional career path this decade.

What you'll learn in this episode

  • What solopreneurs need to think about when starting or growing their businesses
  • How to get clients before your business takes off
  • Common mistakes solopreneurs make in their careers
  • Why being a solopreneur doesn't mean you're alone

And so much more!
