Thoughts On My Solopreneur Journey
Three and a half years in and I’m having the time of my life.
When thinking about creating a nonprofit fundraising consultancy I never thought I would be having as much fun, or feeling as fulfilled, as I am.
I thought I would work for a nonprofit doing fundraising until I retired.
As I started realizing in my last nonprofit position that I wasn’t going to be there until retirement, I started thinking about Altrui.
Several months later, the day I knew came, and I gave notice.
Fortunately, I had begun working on Altrui before that. I had four weeks until my position ended and I was on my own.
During that time I:
Bought the website name for Altrui.
Hired a web designer.
Got the licenses needed to open a business. I decided on a sole proprietorship.
I continued building my social media presence.
I let everyone in my inner circle know what I was doing.
I asked for help and guidance.
