Just Keep Going: Four Years of Solo-preneur Grit and Growth
Four years ago, I took a leap of faith. I decided to turn my passion for helping others into a full-fledged business, Just Keep Going. It wasn't just about creating a brand; it was about building a community, a support system, and a pathway for women to achieve their career and life goals. Looking back, it's been a whirlwind of challenges, triumphs, and invaluable lessons.
The Spark: From Passion to Purpose
My journey began after I was in the midst of a transformation myself. I took my struggle and came up with a simple yet powerful idea: to help other women find their strength and resilience through personalized transformative coaching. I’ve always believed that everyone deserves to feel empowered and capable, and I wanted to create a platform that made that possible. The initial stages were a mix of excitement and uncertainty. Building a website, crafting programs, and reaching out to potential clients—all while navigating the complexities of running a business solo AND working full time — was a steep learning curve.
Building a Foundation: Personalized Coaching and Community
One of the cornerstones of Just Keep Going is the emphasis on personalized coaching. I believe that a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn't work when it comes to transforming your life and career. My programs are designed to adapt to each individual's unique needs, goals, and lifestyle. Whether it's crafting custom vision boards, providing goal setting tools, or offering unwavering support, my focus has always been on fostering sustainable, long-term results.
Navigating Challenges and Celebrating Wins
Being a solo-preneur is a rollercoaster. There have been days filled with doubt, long nights spent strategizing, and unexpected setbacks. But through it all, the unwavering support of my clients and the tangible results they achieved kept me going.
There were also incredible wins. The first client who achieved their success story, has now published three books and counting. She has ventured into other endeavors that have expanded her brand and reach. Every time I am in her presence, she beams with excitement. This confirms that I am doing something right with Just Keep Going.
Key Learnings and Reflections
Looking back, here are a few key lessons I’ve learned:
Consistency is Key: Building a business requires consistent effort and dedication.
Adaptability is Essential: Being able to pivot and adjust to changing circumstances is crucial for survival.
Community Matters: Building a strong support network, both within and outside the business, is invaluable.
Passion Fuels Perseverance: Staying true to my passion for helping others has been my driving force.
The Future: Just Keep Going
