Staying Solo debunks the business advice we get as solopreneurs that's really meant for bigger businesses than us. Maggie offers us a new framework for finding our own path to happy, successful solo businesses. We gathered in August 2026 to discuss what it means to stay solo right now.
Why solopreneurs are underserved in the business community
Income ceilings and how to surpass them
Making smart investments
What to look for when engaging a coach
Why solopreneurs don't pay themselves enough
Understanding your capacity, not just with time, but with energy, emotions and senses too
Growing solo vs growing into an agency
Establishing boundaries with clients (check out Maggie's free workshop on Brave Boundaries)
Routines like seasonal planning and bookkeeping
