SOLOPRENEUR MENTORSHIP FAQS
Is this mentorship or coaching? Are they the same?
This is mentorship, not coaching. That means less “What do you think?” and more “Here’s what I’ve seen work.” Karen shares real-world insights, examples, and recommendations based on 15+ years of independent consulting experience. You’ll walk away with direction and clarity, not a list of open-ended questions.
Why pay for mentorship when you can often find free support?
While there are free resources out there, this mentorship is not general or one-size-fits-all. It’s tailored, strategic, and rooted in firsthand experience. This is more than a brainstorming session. You get practical examples and insights drawn from Karen’s experiences running her own business and interacting with other solopreneurs around the world.
How long does mentorship last?
It’s flexible by design. Most people benefit from one to three sessions, scheduled when needed. There’s no long-term commitment, just focused time to get the answers and guidance you need.
What type of solopreneurs could benefit from this mentorship?
This service is best suited for mid-career or senior-level professionals launching or growing service-based consulting businesses, especially those focused on B2B work in consulting. If you’re planning to open a retail shop, sell physical products, or start a brick-and-mortar business, this mentorship likely isn’t the right fit.
Karen’s generous mentorship has been instrumental in helping me navigate the complicated transition from full-time government work to solopreneurship. Drawing from her own experience, she has offered concrete examples, and asked thoughtful questions that helped me better articulate my unique strengths. Our conversations have been a true boost in this journey — an invaluable mix of practical advice and thoughtful feedback — and I’m grateful to continue learning from her.
