Solopreneurship is bullshit

I hit a wall last week.

Not a motivation wall. Not a strategy wall.

A capacity wall.

I've built this entire thing myself. No ads. No team. Just me, AI tools, and systems.

And it worked.

I got to 1000’s of followers and email subs doing everything myself.

But here's what nobody tells you about solopreneurship:

There's a ceiling. And it's lower than you think.

At some point, you come to realise you're the bottleneck.

And I have bigger goals than what one person can execute alone.

Solopreneurship isn't bullshit because building alone is wrong.

It's bullshit because we glorify staying stuck in solo mode when we should be scaling.

There's a difference between bootstrapping to prove the model and refusing to let go because you think doing it all yourself is a badge of honor.

I proved it works. Now it's time to scale it.

You built your business by saying yes to everything. Every detail. Every deadline. Every late night.

But now? You’re leading less and managing more.

I realized I want to step into the next level, I need to start operating like I'm already there.

That means keeping the things only I can do. And delegating everything else.

Solopreneurship got me here. But it won't get me there.
