What’s On the Other Side of Fear and Uncertainty
Today’s my two-year anniversary as a solopreneur.
If you’ve ever wanted to be a solopreneur, or if you’re already on your own solopreneur/entrepreneur/creator journey, I hope my story can inspire you to overcome fear and follow the path you know you’re meant to take.
December 4th, 2020 was my last day as an employee.
A month prior, I’d gotten a short email from my boss that I’d be fired in 30 days.
Did I suck at my job?
“No. Your patients and coworkers love you, and all your paperwork is always done right and on time.”
Was I not seeing enough therapy patients?
“No. All your numbers are good.”
So why was I getting fired?
“We’re moving away from telehealth and pulling everyone back into the clinics. Since you’re fully remote and live far away, you’re fired.”
That meant I had 30 days and 3 paychecks of runway to figure my life out.
But I couldn’t find another therapy job.
The last 12+ years of my life I’d spent optimizing for a career as a therapist suddenly seemed…suboptimal.
