“Nothing and nobody will ever hurt you again. Not because life becomes easy, but because you stop clinging to illusions.”— Alan Watts Introduction: Why Solopreneurs Break (and How They Can Stop) Every midlife creator, coach, or solopreneur knows the sting: The launch that flops after weeks of work. The email list that doesn’t grow. The [...]
“You are not a stranger in the universe. You are what the whole universe is doing — in this moment, through you.”— Alan Watts Introduction: The Problem with "You" Who are you, really? A solopreneur “trying” to make it work? A mid-life creator battling funnels, algorithms, and self-doubt? Or… are you something deeper? Something wilder, [...]
“Each one of us is a waving of the whole cosmos… the entire works.”— Alan Watts Introduction: You Are Not a Drop in the Ocean… You Are the Ocean in a Drop Most solopreneurs think they are building businesses alone.

For the intuitive person in business, intuition is one of your greatest assets. Learning to follow it transforms everything: decisions, content, identity, relationships, success. Alan Watts gives us a metaphor: treat yourself like [...]
Introduction: The Solitary Path of Truth In a world seduced by illusion and performance, the honest man—or in this case, the honest solopreneur—carries a burden that appears heavier than most. Alan Watts reminds us that while honesty often incurs social and material costs, it offers a kind of inner lightness no lie can replicate. For [...]
Introduction In a world addicted to noise, silence is revolutionary. For the solopreneur—the thinker, creator, builder of one—the path to power is not paved with endless motion, but with intentional withdrawal. Not to isolate, but to integrate.
