Let me debunk the myth that solopreneurship leads to loneliness.
Thereโs a common misconception that solopreneurship leads to isolation, worsening the loneliness many already feel in corporate life.
This isnโt true.
One perspective argues the contrary.
It speaks of solopreneurship as actually being crucial for rebuilding deep albeit covenantal communities that we’ve lost.
In today’s corporate world, many feel like just another cog in the machine, and progressively more disconnected not just from the objectives of the organization but from each other in the corporate team.
The shift away from local, community-oriented services toward large, impersonal corporate jobs may have concentrated the population into teeming urban centers, but left us anonymous and disconnected in them.
Like living inside a massive anthill, nobody knows anybody marching in front, behind or to the side, but everything is always work, work, work!
Humanity’s all around. Yet every individual is alone โ atomized.
Covenantal thinking emphasizes the contrary.
It focuses on the importance of strong, interconnected communities bound together by shared beliefs and mutual support.
Regrettably, modern workplaces for various existential reasons lack these connections today, leading to that pervasive sense of isolation.
Here nevertheless is where solopreneurship shines.
Yes, youโre working alone as a solopreneur and yet you have the freedom to choose your associations.
You can work with clients and partners who truly engage you to create a network of meaningful relationships and projects saturated with significance!
The solopreneurial autonomy allows you to opt out of what a corporation would never allow of you in order to form deeper connections, because you base them on shared values and goals YOU not a corporate elite lead with.
Viewed from this covenantal standpoint, solopreneurship isnโt isolating โ itโs liberating!
It empowers you to build a community that reflects the true spirit of interconnectedness and mutual obligation.
No longer are you a disposable employee. You become a valued member of a like-minded network.
By embracing solopreneurship, you may reconnect with the principles of strong community through the strength of a common creed.
Creed is what forms covenant.
A shift toward covenant transforms your work into a more fulfilling experience, aligned between what you value and what a group will support you on.
So, while corporate (the collective) jobs may erode community, solopreneurship (the individual) paradoxically offers a way to rebuild it.
Choosing to work independently fosters supportive, engaging relationships that truly matter.
