00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:16.960
This is the FlowFlex Gale Podcast, your field guide to the solopreneur operating system with author and coach Jennifer Britton.
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.519
Daily steps plus consistent action equals momentum.
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:26.879
That's Jennifer's mantra, and it starts right here, right now, with you.
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.239
This is the FlowFlex Gill Podcast.
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.000
Let's get started.
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:44.000
This episode picks up right where Jennifer and Valerie left off in episode two, exploring the topic of rebuilding your identity as a solopreneur.
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:50.240
If you haven't listened to that yet, I encourage you to go back and listen to that one and then return back here.
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:56.479
Because this time they're taking a deeper dive into the being of a solopreneur in business.
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.600
There's lots of great information in this conversation.
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.679
So be sure to like, subscribe, and share this episode with a friend.
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.040
Okay, here we go.
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:06.000
Let's listen in.
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.120
I love that you've pointed us to community, team, and relationships.
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.680
Being a solopreneur does not mean we are an island.
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:23.519
You know, I've said that a lot in the days of remote work, but even more so, I think a solopreneur is need to be great, great in relationships and being able to like connect in because we can't do it all by ourselves.
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:25.040
And you you really shared that.
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:30.159
But I want to zoom into this last piece that you just talked about.
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:38.000
Say a little bit more about not just relationships, but also the other part that you just mentioned.
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:39.439
Which part was that?
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:45.760
So you were just talking about how you're being, the being of the solopreneur.
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:51.120
Because I think, again, our presence, embodying our presence, embodying our being.
00:01:51.359 --> 00:02:03.040
Say a little bit about what you've noticed again in your last year of journey, how your identity is maybe changing or key moments, or just any reflections on that.
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.359
Because to the DNA of us, right?
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:17.280
It's not only connecting with that, maybe even reconnecting with it, because sometimes we're in jobs which don't really honor who we are, and we've learned to be that way in a solopreneurial business.
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.080
So sometimes we can really reclaim ourselves.
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:25.680
So reflections on you, your DNA, and your being of your identity.
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.280
I love that.
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.039
So just a short conversation about my journey.
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:39.280
So I was in the federal financial management career field for 30 years, and I was introduced to coaching around my 20th year.
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:44.560
And up until that point, I had just felt I am, as you know, I'm a conversationalist.
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:56.560
And I always was, people were coming to me for professional help and I was mentoring people, but I've I really didn't feel like I had the right skills to really help people move forward.
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:10.560
And I was introduced to coaching and um as a f an internal coach and I became an internal coach and it helped me in my role as a leader, but it really helped me to have that language and the skill set to actually help people and see people move forward.
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:23.520
And so carrying that into this part of my work um and in this part of my life, my identity for 30 years was, you know, Valerie's an analytical person and she's the technical person.
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:32.159
And you know, she's uh, you know, great person if you need support, but she's got this analytical side, and I really didn't get to explore the creative side of myself.
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:44.719
And so being moving into solopreneur and having to kind of go back to the beginning and it's like, who was I before I became a financial budget accounting technical person?
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:46.879
And I was a lot of things.
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.879
I was a writer, I was a dancer, I was a speaker, you know, I did, I was an instructor and I did all these things.
00:03:52.960 --> 00:04:02.400
And so kind of not skipping the 30 years, but just trying to pull out of it what I still want to continue as well as reclaim that earlier part.
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.280
And so it is, it's a journey.
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:11.280
And I thought that, oh, I was a coach, you know, what at my work I could still coach, but it's more than that.
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:27.120
It is really, you know, reconnecting and and drawing into that strength of the creative part plus the technical part, which I need to be a business owner, but just reclaiming that that portion of myself that I have to brilliant.
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:42.319
Well, I think I think our listeners are really gonna enjoy that piece because I think we all um throughout our entrepreneurial journey have moments of claiming, reclaiming, shedding, you know, like that is the beauty because we keep growing as well in our business.
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:48.079
And our business may grow in different ways that we're not even seeing from the onset as well.
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:49.439
So thanks for sharing that.
00:04:49.519 --> 00:05:01.920
I think people will really love hearing that that whole piece around how you really are reclaiming a creativity, which interestingly enough is one of our activators in the flow flex scale, right?
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:07.199
Like what talk a little bit about what you're noticing about creativity as an as a solopreneur.
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.399
Where is that showing up in your work and your business right now?
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:11.600
Oh my goodness.
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.040
So, two places.
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:19.680
So, first, that what I really dug into at first was designing my coaching for chronic illness essentials program.
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:27.360
And there obviously is the the heavy technical piece of the coaching skills and how to coach someone that has chronic illness.
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:31.199
But it was designing the curriculum was so much fun.
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:38.639
Not taking something that someone else had done, you know, not leveraging something that someone else had done, but designing it from scratch.
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:45.920
The slides, the content, the narrative, and the program itself and how to connect with others and all of those things.
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:55.439
And I drew very heavily on a lot of things that I learned from you and the courses I've taken from you and the business side that you emphasize so much.
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.000
Um, and so that was wonderful.
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:05.360
But one of my career goals that I had early on in my 20s was to be a novelist, a fiction novelist.
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.920
And so uh I had dabbled in that, but it's always been on the back burner.
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:20.639
And so being able to add that to my repertoire and spend time and actually write and see my ideas come to fruition has been so much fun.
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.800
And I we did the uh sprint, and I believe it was November of last year.
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:25.920
In November, yeah.
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:30.480
The what used to be the former National Novel Writing Month for sure.
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:36.560
And you were really, you were, yeah, you were just putting numbers and words down on the page, which was exciting.
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.079
You finished that book and hearing that.
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:41.600
And love hearing that.
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:53.360
So maybe, you know, this uh for those that know me, right, as a writer, this podcast I think spotlights the fact that we can have many identities too, as a solopreneur.
00:06:53.439 --> 00:07:01.519
And you are like me in that, uh, you know, very much the writer, but also the program designer, the coach.
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:12.319
And so talk a little bit about what you notice about your rhythm of managing all those things because it's a lot of work to put out a book, you know, let alone having all these other things going on.
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.800
So talk a little bit about the rhythm of your work.
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:15.759
Oh my goodness.
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:22.879
So rhythm is so important in life as a solopreneur, as managing your health and avoiding burnout.
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:28.319
And I think that it goes back to um, I don't know if we've talked about systems, no, not yet.
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.360
Having systems has been so important.
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:39.600
And uh systems for and and so systems don't have to be rigid and they need to be flexible because things change.
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.720
But I noticed at the beginning, I was just all over the place.
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.000
I I my desk was the mess, I didn't couldn't find anything.
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:51.199
Some days I was writing, some days I was doing the program, and I wasn't making progress on anything.
00:07:52.079 --> 00:08:04.879
And so I one of the things that I learned early on, again, from other different types of training, is that you can have five things, but if you don't have anything done, you don't have anything that you can move forward.
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:17.680
And so I've had to um as of last year, I I had to focus in on my training program for at least three months, and I had to prioritize that because I was not going to get that done by doing everything else that I was doing.
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.920
And so what I'm trying to do this year is I do want to publish a book.
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:30.160
And so I'm building writing into my daily life, but I also have designed a framework so I have milestones.
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.360
So that's I'm a project type person at heart.
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:41.759
And so having milestones on what I want to accomplish in that space every week, every month, every quarter also keeps me on track.
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.879
And then it helps that I have systems for the other things.
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:51.200
So I have systems for like my admin, I have systems for how I track my financials, I have systems for my marketing.
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.200
So I, you know, when am I going to record my videos?
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.799
When do I write my scripts?
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.840
I have um systems for how I do my newsletter.
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:02.480
And so some of the basic things that you I have to do, I've developed systems for.
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:09.039
So then I can focus on these things that are unique and have a limited scope of some sort.
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:09.600
Yeah.
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:14.720
Well, thank you for like drawing back the curtain on that because systems are so critical, right?
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:20.639
As I wrote, I think it was Coaching Business Builder, I went into the five systems every business owner needs.
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.120
And that shows up in FlowFlex Scale as well.
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:37.279
What I also want to spotlight for listeners is it is the systems that give us the time back to focus on these really important projects that take deep focus, you know, what Cal Newport would say, you know, the deep work.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.519
Because we can just have a business that continues flatlining.
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:54.240
But if we really want to have incremental growth, we've got to find time and energy, more importantly, for the strategic fun projects that we know are the ones that are going to move the business forward.
00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:02.240
Because uh I really hear for you get a lot of passion and excitement out of your writing, but also out of the program creation.
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:08.000
And they're different skill sets, definitely different skill sets, different energies, then also running it.
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.399
And so, really kudos to you.
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:23.039
I also hear how quickly you've been able to probably take your years and years of experience in running teams, running programming to really now make it your own in a very unified way.
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:31.360
And uh wondering if you have any tips, because I think people get lost in the having multiple projects on the go.
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.360
It's inevitable as a solopreneur.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:38.799
We are sometimes uh, my father would say, what, cook and bottle washer at the same time?
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:49.200
So any tips or suggestions on like you talked a little bit about your scheduling, but any other tips on how to keep multiple things on the go?
00:10:49.919 --> 00:11:02.720
Uh so one of the things I I don't want to miss in when you were talking, it reminded me was I had a coach for a short period of time as I was retiring specifically to help me make that transition.
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:12.639
And so one of the things that she helped me think through, because I I just wanted to say everything that I done for 30 years and just move on to the new stuff.
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:23.120
And she reminded me that you develop so many skills, um, even if it's something you didn't enjoy doing or didn't want to do, you develop so many skills that you can leverage and that can carry you through.
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.080
So I did a few um two or three sessions with her.
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:35.679
Um, and she we just kind of laid things out so that I could see it objectively and see what I wanted to, and I got to pick what do you want to continue doing and what do you want to let go of?
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:44.080
And so I I don't want to miss that part because we are coaches and um having coaching at key points in your uh life is really important.
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:45.440
And so that really helped.
00:11:45.679 --> 00:12:01.440
I also think uh you led us through SWOT analysis, and again, I'd done SWOT analyses before, but not for myself, and really sitting down and thinking over quickly, but then over a period of time, what are my strengths and challenges?
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:07.120
And what are my business threats and opportunities that are you know external to me?
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:16.399
And how can I leverage my strengths and so that I can take advantage of these opportunities and where can I get support for some of my weaknesses?
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:19.360
And you know, how do I kind of mitigate the threats?
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.639
And so I go back, I went back to that earlier this week.
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:35.600
I went back and bugged through my notebook to look at my SWOT analysis because I wanted to look at those opportunity areas, and so that that's another very practical, helpful tool, I think, uh, for solopreneurs.
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:36.639
Love it.
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:37.200
And thank you.
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:38.480
You're reminding me, right?
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.919
We're getting towards the end of Q2 2026.
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:45.440
It is time to pick up the SWOT and take a look at it.
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:50.799
I also was really hearing, and maybe because it's our focus here is the 90-day window, right?
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.639
You were talking about the weekly, the monthly, the quarterly.
00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:00.799
And in today's business world, you know, beyond that, how much can we really focus other than maybe our once-a-year planning?
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.360
So let's jump gears a little bit.
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:04.240
I'm curious.
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.120
You're such a creative, you're a solopreneur.
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:12.639
One of the biggest issues on the table in 2026 is how much AI are you using in your business?
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:17.200
I'd love, and I'm sure listeners are intrigued to hear, you know, I think it's very common.
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:26.799
Solopreneurism is actually the fastest growing entrepreneurial sector right now, in part because a lot of businesses are setting up as solopreneurial AI first.
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:34.240
So, you know, really doubling down, tripling down, making the agents, an agenc team the team.
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:39.600
I'm hearing for like me, you know, very much it's a human team, but AI enabled.
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:44.240
Talk a little bit about how you're using AI in your business to really help you.
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:45.360
I don't know, to help you.
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:46.159
I'll leave it at that.
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:46.720
Dot, dot.
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:48.000
Over to you.
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:48.879
Sure.
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.519
So AI has it's very interesting.
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:57.279
I don't think I used AI hardly at all before I became a solopreneur at all.
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:00.159
Like I was just not aware of what was out there.
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:06.159
Um and as I became a solopreneur, I started looking into it because I'm doing everything by myself.
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:12.480
I'm literally doing, you know, everything, beginning to end, and everything in between, business creation by myself.
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:16.000
And I looked into AI as a tool.
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.639
Um, and I know that it can be concerning.
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:23.679
And I am, as a writer, for example, I am very much about the human writing.
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:32.320
You know, I write my own work, I design my own training programs, but does I use it as a tool to help me brainstorm?
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:37.600
I use it as a tool, you know, just like I would go and do a search online and ask questions.
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.559
Um, I use it as a tool to help me with free search.
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:47.840
I use it as a tool to make sure that I have the right framework for my terms and conditions and my privacy policy.
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:51.919
Like I use it in that standpoint as well.
00:14:52.159 --> 00:15:03.600
But uh one of the tools that I use is in designing presentations because graphics, as we know, can be a to get graphics that are what you want is always challenging.
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.799
Designing graphics myself is a non-starter.
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:18.399
And to me, AI has just taken such leaps and bounds on helping us design the graphics that actually communicate what we want to communicate about our business in a great way.
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:26.639
And so I really see it as a very important tool to send, like I mentioned as a solopreneur with marketing and things like that.
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:32.639
You know, I write my own newsletters, but it helps me put it in a way that connects with people and those types of things.
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:38.320
And so I do use it as a very important tool for my business as a solopreneur for sure.
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:39.360
Love hearing it.
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.600
And I was just sort of sharing with Valerie.
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.919
So before people come and join us here, I send out a field note guide.
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:49.200
And really, it is something I've learned as a podcaster.
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:52.639
Some of you may have heard me years ago at the Remote Pathways podcast.
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:55.039
More recently, we've had the Coaching Many podcast.
00:15:55.120 --> 00:16:05.840
But for this one, I wanted to send a one-pager and it could have been like very tense text, but of course, I went to my chat that knows my preferences, that has been really aware of the FlowFlex scale.
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:13.360
And you're going to see when the cover comes out and the book comes out, a good alignment with what we're evolving very quickly as a brand.
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:29.360
I think about how fast in the last year, because FlowFlex scale has grown out of years and years and years of coaching, programming, but from a branding standpoint, the brand has really come together so fast in the last six months, AI enabled as well.
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:37.120
And so it's interesting how application can really be different, even as a high creative, like you are, you know, yeah.
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.200
How do we amp up things to an even higher level?
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:47.440
So we'd be interested in hearing uh from our listeners, what are you doing as a solopreneur?
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:48.639
How are you leveraging it?
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.960
And is this like a new part of the journey?
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:56.159
So I'm gonna go to my question list to see what else, because we're coming into our last sort of five minutes.
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:59.679
What do you think is creating momentum for you right now?
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.039
I thought about that question as well.
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.440
I think momentum for me is is being created with clarity.
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:12.960
And the more that I keep circling around, you know, who is my ideal client?
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:14.559
Who am I trying to reach?
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:15.599
Who am I?
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:17.039
What are my strengths?
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:20.559
Like just being clear about all of those things.
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.279
And the other thing is consistency.
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:30.880
And um, there's a lady that I follow and I read a lot of her work, and she talked about people see these big breakthrough moments.
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:36.319
And they see you publish the book or they see your training program and they're just like, wow, you know, how did you do that?
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:46.000
What they don't see is just the every single day showing up, doing the work, prioritizing, doing your schedule, setting the goals, meeting with people.
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:50.160
And then you the end result is the result of a lot of work.
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:56.720
And so I would say momentum for me is just consistency, is doing the small things every day.
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:05.119
And then all of a sudden it looks like you have this big thing that happens, um, but it's the result of all the small things that people don't see.
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.799
It's the daily steps and consistent action that create the momentum.
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.559
I love hearing you say that in a in a very different way.
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.119
And so for you, Valerie, I appreciate all the time that you've taken with us today.
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.880
We've covered everything from AI to being.
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:26.640
I really want to spotlight that to you know some of the key points on this last year of your journey.
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:31.440
Any other tips or suggestions you want to leave our listeners with before we wrap up today?
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:38.960
One thing I would say is that there is this pull for everybody to kind of do the same thing.
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:41.200
There's every season there's something new.
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.599
And it can be enticing because the landscape is changing so fast.
00:18:46.319 --> 00:19:10.160
And I would just encourage people to just really make sure and stay grounded in alignment with their values and their strengths and what they want and what they believe, because that's what people, the people that are going to really connect with you and carry your work forward, that's what they're looking for, is us, is the human connection and the authenticity.
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:17.920
And so I just encourage folks to, you know, don't feel like stretch yourself, but don't feel like you have to do all of the things.
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.480
Just really stay grounded and stay focused and it will work out.
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:23.200
Yeah.
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:40.559
And you've really illustrated that and shared that message with us today in terms of the different stages, the different things you've done throughout your journey over this maybe last year and a half, having a coach that could help you really discern what you are good at, you know, what do you want to carry forward into this new chapter?
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:42.240
You talked a lot about conversation.
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.599
We didn't get into that whole theme, which is one of the nine catalysts.
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:50.079
But, you know, I imagine all the time you're talking to people, your people, right?
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:51.920
Like listening for what they need.
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.319
And we can never go wrong if we're listening in response to what people need now.
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.480
So thank you so much, Valley.
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:00.400
I've really enjoyed our conversation.
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.319
Where can people find you?
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:08.960

Yes, we are.
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:37.519
Excellent.

Thank you.
00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:56.400

This is the FlowFlex Gale Podcast, your field guide to the solopreneur operating system with author and coach Jennifer Britton.
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.519
Daily steps plus consistent action equals momentum.
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:26.879
That's Jennifer's mantra, and it starts right here, right now, with you.
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.239
This is the FlowFlex Gill Podcast.
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.000
Let's get started.
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:44.000
This episode picks up right where Jennifer and Valerie left off in episode two, exploring the topic of rebuilding your identity as a solopreneur.
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:50.240
If you haven't listened to that yet, I encourage you to go back and listen to that one and then return back here.
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:56.479
Because this time they're taking a deeper dive into the being of a solopreneur in business.
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.600

00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.679
So be sure to like, subscribe, and share this episode with a friend.
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:05.040
Okay, here we go.
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:06.000
Let's listen in.
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.120
I love that you've pointed us to community, team, and relationships.
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.680
Being a solopreneur does not mean we are an island.
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:23.519
You know, I've said that a lot in the days of remote work, but even more so, I think a solopreneur is need to be great, great in relationships and being able to like connect in because we can't do it all by ourselves.
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:25.040
And you you really shared that.
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:30.159
But I want to zoom into this last piece that you just talked about.
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:38.000
Say a little bit more about not just relationships, but also the other part that you just mentioned.
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:39.439
Which part was that?
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:45.760
So you were just talking about how you're being, the being of the solopreneur.
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:51.120
Because I think, again, our presence, embodying our presence, embodying our being.
00:01:51.359 --> 00:02:03.040
Say a little bit about what you've noticed again in your last year of journey, how your identity is maybe changing or key moments, or just any reflections on that.
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:05.359
Because to the DNA of us, right?
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:17.280
It's not only connecting with that, maybe even reconnecting with it, because sometimes we're in jobs which don't really honor who we are, and we've learned to be that way in a solopreneurial business.
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.080
So sometimes we can really reclaim ourselves.
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:25.680
So reflections on you, your DNA, and your being of your identity.
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.280
I love that.
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.039
So just a short conversation about my journey.
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:39.280
So I was in the federal financial management career field for 30 years, and I was introduced to coaching around my 20th year.
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:44.560
And up until that point, I had just felt I am, as you know, I'm a conversationalist.
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:56.560
And I always was, people were coming to me for professional help and I was mentoring people, but I've I really didn't feel like I had the right skills to really help people move forward.
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:10.560
And I was introduced to coaching and um as a f an internal coach and I became an internal coach and it helped me in my role as a leader, but it really helped me to have that language and the skill set to actually help people and see people move forward.
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:23.520
And so carrying that into this part of my work um and in this part of my life, my identity for 30 years was, you know, Valerie's an analytical person and she's the technical person.
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:32.159
And you know, she's uh, you know, great person if you need support, but she's got this analytical side, and I really didn't get to explore the creative side of myself.
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:44.719
And so being moving into solopreneur and having to kind of go back to the beginning and it's like, who was I before I became a financial budget accounting technical person?
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:46.879
And I was a lot of things.
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:52.879
I was a writer, I was a dancer, I was a speaker, you know, I did, I was an instructor and I did all these things.
00:03:52.960 --> 00:04:02.400
And so kind of not skipping the 30 years, but just trying to pull out of it what I still want to continue as well as reclaim that earlier part.
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:05.280
And so it is, it's a journey.
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:11.280
And I thought that, oh, I was a coach, you know, what at my work I could still coach, but it's more than that.
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:27.120
It is really, you know, reconnecting and and drawing into that strength of the creative part plus the technical part, which I need to be a business owner, but just reclaiming that that portion of myself that I have to brilliant.
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:42.319
Well, I think I think our listeners are really gonna enjoy that piece because I think we all um throughout our entrepreneurial journey have moments of claiming, reclaiming, shedding, you know, like that is the beauty because we keep growing as well in our business.
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:48.079
And our business may grow in different ways that we're not even seeing from the onset as well.
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:49.439
So thanks for sharing that.
00:04:49.519 --> 00:05:01.920
I think people will really love hearing that that whole piece around how you really are reclaiming a creativity, which interestingly enough is one of our activators in the flow flex scale, right?
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:07.199
Like what talk a little bit about what you're noticing about creativity as an as a solopreneur.
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.399
Where is that showing up in your work and your business right now?
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:11.600
Oh my goodness.
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.040
So, two places.
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:19.680
So, first, that what I really dug into at first was designing my coaching for chronic illness essentials program.
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:27.360
And there obviously is the the heavy technical piece of the coaching skills and how to coach someone that has chronic illness.
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:31.199
But it was designing the curriculum was so much fun.
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:38.639
Not taking something that someone else had done, you know, not leveraging something that someone else had done, but designing it from scratch.
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:45.920
The slides, the content, the narrative, and the program itself and how to connect with others and all of those things.
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:55.439
And I drew very heavily on a lot of things that I learned from you and the courses I've taken from you and the business side that you emphasize so much.
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.000
Um, and so that was wonderful.
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:05.360
But one of my career goals that I had early on in my 20s was to be a novelist, a fiction novelist.
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.920
And so uh I had dabbled in that, but it's always been on the back burner.
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:20.639
And so being able to add that to my repertoire and spend time and actually write and see my ideas come to fruition has been so much fun.
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.800
And I we did the uh sprint, and I believe it was November of last year.
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:25.920
In November, yeah.
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:30.480
The what used to be the former National Novel Writing Month for sure.
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:36.560
And you were really, you were, yeah, you were just putting numbers and words down on the page, which was exciting.
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.079
You finished that book and hearing that.
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:41.600
And love hearing that.
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:53.360
So maybe, you know, this uh for those that know me, right, as a writer, this podcast I think spotlights the fact that we can have many identities too, as a solopreneur.
00:06:53.439 --> 00:07:01.519
And you are like me in that, uh, you know, very much the writer, but also the program designer, the coach.
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:12.319
And so talk a little bit about what you notice about your rhythm of managing all those things because it's a lot of work to put out a book, you know, let alone having all these other things going on.
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.800
So talk a little bit about the rhythm of your work.
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:15.759
Oh my goodness.
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:22.879
So rhythm is so important in life as a solopreneur, as managing your health and avoiding burnout.
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:28.319
And I think that it goes back to um, I don't know if we've talked about systems, no, not yet.
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.360
Having systems has been so important.
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:39.600
And uh systems for and and so systems don't have to be rigid and they need to be flexible because things change.
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.720
But I noticed at the beginning, I was just all over the place.
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.000
I I my desk was the mess, I didn't couldn't find anything.
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:51.199
Some days I was writing, some days I was doing the program, and I wasn't making progress on anything.
00:07:52.079 --> 00:08:04.879
And so I one of the things that I learned early on, again, from other different types of training, is that you can have five things, but if you don't have anything done, you don't have anything that you can move forward.
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:17.680
And so I've had to um as of last year, I I had to focus in on my training program for at least three months, and I had to prioritize that because I was not going to get that done by doing everything else that I was doing.
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.920
And so what I'm trying to do this year is I do want to publish a book.
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:30.160
And so I'm building writing into my daily life, but I also have designed a framework so I have milestones.
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.360
So that's I'm a project type person at heart.
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:41.759
And so having milestones on what I want to accomplish in that space every week, every month, every quarter also keeps me on track.
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.879
And then it helps that I have systems for the other things.
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:51.200
So I have systems for like my admin, I have systems for how I track my financials, I have systems for my marketing.
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.200
So I, you know, when am I going to record my videos?
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.799
When do I write my scripts?
00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.840
I have um systems for how I do my newsletter.
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:02.480
And so some of the basic things that you I have to do, I've developed systems for.
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:09.039
So then I can focus on these things that are unique and have a limited scope of some sort.
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:09.600
Yeah.
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:14.720
Well, thank you for like drawing back the curtain on that because systems are so critical, right?
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:20.639
As I wrote, I think it was Coaching Business Builder, I went into the five systems every business owner needs.
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.120
And that shows up in FlowFlex Scale as well.
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:37.279
What I also want to spotlight for listeners is it is the systems that give us the time back to focus on these really important projects that take deep focus, you know, what Cal Newport would say, you know, the deep work.
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.519
Because we can just have a business that continues flatlining.
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:54.240
But if we really want to have incremental growth, we've got to find time and energy, more importantly, for the strategic fun projects that we know are the ones that are going to move the business forward.
00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:02.240
Because uh I really hear for you get a lot of passion and excitement out of your writing, but also out of the program creation.
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:08.000
And they're different skill sets, definitely different skill sets, different energies, then also running it.
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.399
And so, really kudos to you.
00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:23.039
I also hear how quickly you've been able to probably take your years and years of experience in running teams, running programming to really now make it your own in a very unified way.
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:31.360
And uh wondering if you have any tips, because I think people get lost in the having multiple projects on the go.
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.360
It's inevitable as a solopreneur.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:38.799
We are sometimes uh, my father would say, what, cook and bottle washer at the same time?
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:49.200
So any tips or suggestions on like you talked a little bit about your scheduling, but any other tips on how to keep multiple things on the go?
00:10:49.919 --> 00:11:02.720
Uh so one of the things I I don't want to miss in when you were talking, it reminded me was I had a coach for a short period of time as I was retiring specifically to help me make that transition.
00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:12.639
And so one of the things that she helped me think through, because I I just wanted to say everything that I done for 30 years and just move on to the new stuff.
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:23.120
And she reminded me that you develop so many skills, um, even if it's something you didn't enjoy doing or didn't want to do, you develop so many skills that you can leverage and that can carry you through.
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.080
So I did a few um two or three sessions with her.
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:35.679
Um, and she we just kind of laid things out so that I could see it objectively and see what I wanted to, and I got to pick what do you want to continue doing and what do you want to let go of?
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:44.080
And so I I don't want to miss that part because we are coaches and um having coaching at key points in your uh life is really important.
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:45.440
And so that really helped.
00:11:45.679 --> 00:12:01.440
I also think uh you led us through SWOT analysis, and again, I'd done SWOT analyses before, but not for myself, and really sitting down and thinking over quickly, but then over a period of time, what are my strengths and challenges?
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:07.120
And what are my business threats and opportunities that are you know external to me?
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:16.399
And how can I leverage my strengths and so that I can take advantage of these opportunities and where can I get support for some of my weaknesses?
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:19.360
And you know, how do I kind of mitigate the threats?
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:22.639
And so I go back, I went back to that earlier this week.
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:35.600
I went back and bugged through my notebook to look at my SWOT analysis because I wanted to look at those opportunity areas, and so that that's another very practical, helpful tool, I think, uh, for solopreneurs.
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:36.639
Love it.
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:37.200
And thank you.
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:38.480
You're reminding me, right?
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.919
We're getting towards the end of Q2 2026.
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:45.440
It is time to pick up the SWOT and take a look at it.
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:50.799
I also was really hearing, and maybe because it's our focus here is the 90-day window, right?
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.639
You were talking about the weekly, the monthly, the quarterly.
00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:00.799
And in today's business world, you know, beyond that, how much can we really focus other than maybe our once-a-year planning?
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.360
So let's jump gears a little bit.
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:04.240
I'm curious.
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.120
You're such a creative, you're a solopreneur.
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:12.639
One of the biggest issues on the table in 2026 is how much AI are you using in your business?
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:17.200
I'd love, and I'm sure listeners are intrigued to hear, you know, I think it's very common.
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:26.799
Solopreneurism is actually the fastest growing entrepreneurial sector right now, in part because a lot of businesses are setting up as solopreneurial AI first.
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:34.240
So, you know, really doubling down, tripling down, making the agents, an agenc team the team.
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:39.600
I'm hearing for like me, you know, very much it's a human team, but AI enabled.
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:44.240
Talk a little bit about how you're using AI in your business to really help you.
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:45.360
I don't know, to help you.
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:46.159
I'll leave it at that.
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:46.720
Dot, dot.
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:48.000
Over to you.
00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:48.879
Sure.
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.519
So AI has it's very interesting.
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:57.279
I don't think I used AI hardly at all before I became a solopreneur at all.
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:00.159
Like I was just not aware of what was out there.
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:06.159
Um and as I became a solopreneur, I started looking into it because I'm doing everything by myself.
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:12.480
I'm literally doing, you know, everything, beginning to end, and everything in between, business creation by myself.
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:16.000
And I looked into AI as a tool.
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.639
Um, and I know that it can be concerning.
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:23.679
And I am, as a writer, for example, I am very much about the human writing.
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:32.320
You know, I write my own work, I design my own training programs, but does I use it as a tool to help me brainstorm?
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:37.600
I use it as a tool, you know, just like I would go and do a search online and ask questions.
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.559
Um, I use it as a tool to help me with free search.
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:47.840
I use it as a tool to make sure that I have the right framework for my terms and conditions and my privacy policy.
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:51.919
Like I use it in that standpoint as well.
00:14:52.159 --> 00:15:03.600
But uh one of the tools that I use is in designing presentations because graphics, as we know, can be a to get graphics that are what you want is always challenging.
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.799
Designing graphics myself is a non-starter.
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:18.399
And to me, AI has just taken such leaps and bounds on helping us design the graphics that actually communicate what we want to communicate about our business in a great way.
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:26.639
And so I really see it as a very important tool to send, like I mentioned as a solopreneur with marketing and things like that.
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:32.639
You know, I write my own newsletters, but it helps me put it in a way that connects with people and those types of things.
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:38.320
And so I do use it as a very important tool for my business as a solopreneur for sure.
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:39.360
Love hearing it.
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.600
And I was just sort of sharing with Valerie.
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.919
So before people come and join us here, I send out a field note guide.
00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:49.200
And really, it is something I've learned as a podcaster.
00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:52.639
Some of you may have heard me years ago at the Remote Pathways podcast.
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:55.039
More recently, we've had the Coaching Many podcast.
00:15:55.120 --> 00:16:05.840
But for this one, I wanted to send a one-pager and it could have been like very tense text, but of course, I went to my chat that knows my preferences, that has been really aware of the FlowFlex scale.
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:13.360
And you're going to see when the cover comes out and the book comes out, a good alignment with what we're evolving very quickly as a brand.
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:29.360
I think about how fast in the last year, because FlowFlex scale has grown out of years and years and years of coaching, programming, but from a branding standpoint, the brand has really come together so fast in the last six months, AI enabled as well.
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:37.120
And so it's interesting how application can really be different, even as a high creative, like you are, you know, yeah.
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.200
How do we amp up things to an even higher level?
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:47.440
So we'd be interested in hearing uh from our listeners, what are you doing as a solopreneur?
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:48.639
How are you leveraging it?
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.960
And is this like a new part of the journey?
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:56.159
So I'm gonna go to my question list to see what else, because we're coming into our last sort of five minutes.
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:59.679
What do you think is creating momentum for you right now?
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.039
I thought about that question as well.
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.440
I think momentum for me is is being created with clarity.
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:12.960
And the more that I keep circling around, you know, who is my ideal client?
00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:14.559
Who am I trying to reach?
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:15.599
Who am I?
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:17.039
What are my strengths?
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:20.559
Like just being clear about all of those things.
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.279
And the other thing is consistency.
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:30.880
And um, there's a lady that I follow and I read a lot of her work, and she talked about people see these big breakthrough moments.
00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:36.319
And they see you publish the book or they see your training program and they're just like, wow, you know, how did you do that?
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:46.000
What they don't see is just the every single day showing up, doing the work, prioritizing, doing your schedule, setting the goals, meeting with people.
00:17:46.079 --> 00:17:50.160
And then you the end result is the result of a lot of work.
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:56.720
And so I would say momentum for me is just consistency, is doing the small things every day.
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:05.119
And then all of a sudden it looks like you have this big thing that happens, um, but it's the result of all the small things that people don't see.
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.799
It's the daily steps and consistent action that create the momentum.
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.559
I love hearing you say that in a in a very different way.
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.119
And so for you, Valerie, I appreciate all the time that you've taken with us today.
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.880
We've covered everything from AI to being.
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:26.640
I really want to spotlight that to you know some of the key points on this last year of your journey.
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:31.440
Any other tips or suggestions you want to leave our listeners with before we wrap up today?
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:38.960
One thing I would say is that there is this pull for everybody to kind of do the same thing.
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:41.200
There's every season there's something new.
00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.599
And it can be enticing because the landscape is changing so fast.
00:18:46.319 --> 00:19:10.160
And I would just encourage people to just really make sure and stay grounded in alignment with their values and their strengths and what they want and what they believe, because that's what people, the people that are going to really connect with you and carry your work forward, that's what they're looking for, is us, is the human connection and the authenticity.
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:17.920
And so I just encourage folks to, you know, don't feel like stretch yourself, but don't feel like you have to do all of the things.
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.480
Just really stay grounded and stay focused and it will work out.
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:23.200
Yeah.
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:40.559
And you've really illustrated that and shared that message with us today in terms of the different stages, the different things you've done throughout your journey over this maybe last year and a half, having a coach that could help you really discern what you are good at, you know, what do you want to carry forward into this new chapter?
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:42.240
You talked a lot about conversation.
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.599
We didn't get into that whole theme, which is one of the nine catalysts.
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:50.079
But, you know, I imagine all the time you're talking to people, your people, right?
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:51.920
Like listening for what they need.
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.319
And we can never go wrong if we're listening in response to what people need now.
00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.480
So thank you so much, Valley.
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:00.400
I've really enjoyed our conversation.
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.319
Where can people find you?
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:08.960
So you can find me at uh my website at coachingforchronic illness.com.
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:14.480

Um, so that's probably the best way for folks to reach me.
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.200
Um, I also do have on there a link to my newsletter.
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:27.200

So I hope you'll check out Valerie again, coaching for chronic illness.com.
00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:36.240
I got that right.
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:36.880
Yes, we are.
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:37.519
Excellent.
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:38.079
Excellent.
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.599
Until next time, everyone, we'd love to hear from you.
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:44.799
What did you enjoy out of today's episode?
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:47.119

And we'll see you again soon at FlowFlex Skill, the field guide.
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.359
Thanks again, Valerie.
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:54.319
Thank you.
00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:56.400
Take care, everyone.
