So they gathered the most common questions solopreneurs ask in LifeStarr office hours, the community, and their inboxes, and they’re answering them one by one.\nIn this first Q&A episode, Carly shares how she structures her week around kids and family by locking in the non-negotiables first and finding work pockets around them. Joe breaks down how to set client boundaries without losing clients, why boundaries should be a policy and not a notion, and why diversifying your income gives you the power to protect them. Then they tackle a big one. What do you do when you feel guilty for not working?\nHere’s what you’ll learn:\nHow to build your week around family life first and work second\nWhy matching your work to your energy level makes early mornings (or late nights) work\nHow to communicate your hours so clients respect them\nWhy breaking your own rules “just this once” trains clients to expect it\nHow having only one or two clients weakens your ability to hold boundaries\nWhere work guilt really comes from and how to rewire it\nWhy rest and daydreaming are performance tools\nWhat the ownership trap is and how to avoid it\nHave a question for a future episode? Join the free LifeStarr Intro, ask away, and you might hear your question on the show.\nJoin LifeStarr Intro!\nSubscribe on Apple, Spotify, or YouTube, share this episode with a fellow one-person business owner, and leave a five-star review.
