๐ฅ Not all roadblocks affect your solo practice equally at every stage, though.

Which applies worst to you?

If you’re having a problem communicating and personalizing your interactions with clients, you’re hindering your ability to build strong relationships.
And without effective engagement, clients will not feel valued.
This leads to a lower likelihood of repeat business.

Many solopreneurs have a wishy-washy marketing strategy.
But you need strong branding to become difficult for potential customers to confuse you with someone else or fail to remember you.
Ineffective marketing efforts lead to low customer acquisition.
A reduced pool of clients, who potentially could become repeat buyers, won’t buy again if they can’t recall they bought once before from you.

Providing inconsistent quality in your products or services erodes client confidence.
If they experience variations in your quality, they’ll be less inclined to return for repeat business.
Consistency is crucial for building a loyal customer base.

Whichever you realize is your worst obstacle, don’t take on daredevil tactics to confront these. Find help.
These obstacles tend to result from blind spots in your planning. Most often it takes someone a bit more ahead of you to help you discern why you didn’t spot them early on and how to overcome them next.
