Being a solopreneur isn’t easy.
I know because I am one.

— Sandra Smith

“Sandra, you helped me realize that my greatest fear in making a change need not be a fear at all. It’s already innately part of my foundation. You’ve been so amazing to me and I can’t thank you enough.”

About Sandra

If I may, I’d love to share you a little about my past. I think it’s relevant because it has shaped how I approach my work with you.

My negative self-limiting beliefs — and the feeling that I did not deserve what success would bring me — had the power to keep me from living the life I was meant to live. And, unfortunately, I let these negative beliefs affect many of my life decisions.

Growing up, I had three core feelings that ruled my brain. One, I felt that my hardworking parents wanted me to be someone I wasn’t. Two, I felt like I didn’t really fit in anywhere. And three, I felt personally responsible for one of my parent’s ever-present anger.

After graduating from college, I got married and we had a child together. Turns out he was abusive. Feeling unsafe, I packed a couple pieces of luggage, bought one-way tickets, and me and my baby flew to another state. We had to start our new life from scratch.

Unable to find work, I became a broke, single mother on welfare. After I got off of public assistance, I worked at a number of low-paying jobs. I was considered working poor because I was working, but I didn’t make enough money to make ends meet.

I’ve always followed my unrelenting passion to be my True Self.

Through it all, I figured out what’s important to me. Turns out, there are three things: One, I must be my True Self. Two, I must be a Solopreneur. And three, I must help other women achieve what’s important to them.

I’m happy to say that I’m an obsessed solopreneur, expert trainer, author, and host of the Growth Made Easier podcast. I offer products, training, services, and little splurges for all women solopreneurs.

To help you get started on your solo journey, I’ve put some useful materials on this site for you to check out. Enjoy!

Know this by heart: Do what’s important to you.
