You have a business, but you’re not an excited business owner.
A lot of new business owners are stuck in the “meh” stage — it’s that stage in the business when you’re stoked that you’re making some kind of money, but you’re pretty unhappy with how you earn that money, plus the money you earn isn’t enough.
👉🏽 If you’re a service provider like a graphic designer or a virtual assistant, you may be *working* but the projects burn you out and you’re not having a blast doing the work.
👉🏽 If you sell products, you may be slugging to sell on Etsy or in-person markets because you make the most bang for your buck, but you hate Etsy’s fees and standing on your feet for 4 hours.
Welcome to the early stages of startup burnout.
If you continue going down this path, your love for your business will decline rapidly and one of two things will happen: you’ll either become an ever-worsening ball of stress or you’ll walk away from the business.
You should be living “the dream” right now but running your business feels more like a drag that’s hellbent on sucking you dry of money and energy.
This stage is a common one amongst new business owners and it’s a crossroads that you can either choose to move upwards from or leave as is.
If you’re done secretly hating your business, read on 👇🏼.
I created a free, 1-hour workshop to help you implement something I call my clarify formula. It’s the formula I’ve used to help hundreds of female entrepreneurs:
✨ Do work that they love, operating it in a style that they love.
✨ Find their secret sauce and stand out amongst a sea of competitors.
✨ Make enough money to be a comfortable, full-time business owner.
I’m running this workshop for free, but I’m only making it available for a limited time.
Who’s Running This Workshop, BTW?
Hey I’m Sophia, I’m the founder of Ascent Strategy and the one guiding you through this free workshop.
I sold my first company at the age of 22, am a third-time entrepreneur, and have been in the startup game for 14 years. I’ve been named a Forbes 30 Under 30 and an All-Star Alumna, received the Fred Alger Finance Award, and was a pitch finalist at ELLE Magazine’s Impact2 Awards.
I’ve been in the weeds building my own startups, so my expertise goes beyond theory—I don’t just teach you the concepts behind building your business, I show you how to build a tangible business that works in the real world. I have over a decade’s worth of knowledge, experience, and war stories to help you succeed and support you mentally when the going gets tough.
I’m excited to help you get out of “meh” mode and get you excited about your business again. Read more about my background, click here.
