I've been an independent consultant for more than 10 years, and now I help others "take the leap" and go solo. I use this space to share my experiences, resources, tips and guidance. More resources here: ashley-dennison.com ♥

A huge part of becoming known as an expert is just declaring that you are one.

When I get overwhelmed and need to go back to basics to grow my business, I always come back to the big 3.

When I get overwhelmed and I want to go back to basics (and laser-in on growing my business), there are three focus areas I come back to again and again.

Me when I remember that I own my time and absolutely no one can drop a meeting on my calendar without my express approval.

Integrity is behaving in private the same way you do in public.

Do #hashtags do anything here?

Like if I drop a #solopreneur will I meet other solos?

If I drop a #communications will I find others from my industry?

If I drop a #waffles will I meet my new best friends?

Most solopreneurs and independent consultants end up going back to searching for full-time employment. Often within one year. Why?

In 10+ years working for myself, every single client project came my way through my network.

BUT. There’s more nuance to it. It’s not about knowing the “right” people. That’s the least of it.

It's going to be hard either way.

Whether you're working for someone else, or working for yourself. It's going to be hard.

Too many people seem to look to the other side of the fence and imagine it's an easier, gentler path.

I have a following on another platform already, but I'm not linking it here or bringing my audience over.

Why?

Because I want the challenge of breaking into a new space starting from zero. I want to create a fresh POV specifically for Bluesky, and find my audience here one follow at a time.

Since it's just us, I'll let you in on a little secret:

There is no such thing as job security.

Job security is an outdated idea. It belongs to our parents' generation. It meant a promise between two parties who respected each other. The employer and the employee.

It's dead now.
