Thriving as a Soulpreneur in the Age of AI -- Ideas for Human-Centered Work, AI Partnership, and Finding Clients
You’re someone who genuinely cares about the people you serve. You chose this work — creating, coaching, healing, mentoring — because you felt called to it. It’s not just a money thing. And for that, I thank you 🙏
I’d also guess that like many of us, you’re feeling some anxiety about what AI will do to your work. Maybe some clients have mentioned that they’re using ChatGPT. Maybe you’ve wondered where you fit in a world that seems to be automating everything.
I hope that this post offe…
Authentic Market Discovery -- Meet Your People Where They Are
Have you ever poured yourself into creating something — a program, a course, an offer you genuinely believe could help people — only to hear… crickets? 🥲
I definitely can relate to that (very quietly) painful experience…
For years, I believed that if I thought my work was truly valuable, that “my people” would somehow find their way to it. “Build it and they will come,” right?

Eventually, here’s what I came to…
Reach More Clients via the “Offer Doorways” Strategy

Why buy — or sell — online courses?
Why buy online courses, when all the information is available for free, if you only knew where to look?

Sliding Scale Pricing -- Why I Don’t Recommend It
Over the years I’ve noticed many solopreneurs experiment with sliding scale pricing or pay-what-you-can (PWYC).
