It has been just over a month since I took a leap of faith to launch my solopreneurship career after spending 14 years across a marketing agency, a large bank and a Series A startup.

The transition was not smooth.

The most difficult part was realising that solopreneurship is really lonely.

I miss the relationships I had in the office. Being an extrovert, they always made work fun and energised me, something I probably took for granted.

I’ve had to make drastic changes to make up the energy. I took up a desk at a co-working space to be around people. I make inconvenient journeys to different parts of the city to meet friends and ex-colleagues during the week.

But it is working. I find myself more relaxed and focused, which is more than enough to make up for the extra expense and time it takes.

Today’s episode is about relationships, both at home and work.
