5 Myths That Keep Solopreneurs Stuck [And what works instead]

You don’t need another guru, another funnel, or another $5K program promising freedom while chaining you to your laptop.

Because online marketing isn’t new —
it’s just human connection in digital form.

And you don’t have to do it alone.

At Solo Biz Hacker, we believe the problem isn’t you — it’s the myths the industry sells, the shame it creates, and the isolation it breeds.

The key to maintaining your sanity and your life - Is to take it one small bite at a time!

Myth 1. “If Your Marketing Isn’t Working, It’s You.”

No — it’s the lie you bought. You’ve been taught that success comes from someone else’s template.

But tactics without trust don’t convert.

What actually works: real conversations, not performance. Business has always been personal — and when you stop outsourcing your instincts, everything clicks.

Myth 2. “You Need a New Platform.”

Switching platforms is like changing tables at a networking event because no one talked to you.

The room isn’t broken — the follow-up is.

What actually works: pick one space, build genuine connections, and keep showing up.

Relationships compound faster than algorithms.

Myth 3. “You’re Not ‘Crushing It’ Because You’re Not Trying Hard Enough.”

The hustle machine runs on shame. It tells you that rest equals laziness and that real entrepreneurs never slow down.

It’s a lie designed to sell you more fuel for burnout

What actually works: sustainable rhythm over frantic pace.

Momentum built from community accountability, gentle systems, and support will always outperform solo striving.

Myth 4. “You Have to Be Everywhere.”

You don’t. Visibility without connection is noise.

People remember those who make them feel seen, not those who post the most.

What actually works: be remembered somewhere.

Build a small but vibrant ecosystem — where your name circulates through conversation, not ads.

Myth 5. “Complexity Means You’re Growing.”

No — complexity means you’ve lost sight of simplicity.

Gurus make money when your business feels too tangled to run without them.

What actually works: simplify to scale.

The best systems are the ones you can sustain when life gets real.

And the Biggest Myth of All?

That You Have to Do It Alone.

Entrepreneurship was never meant to be a solo sport.

Isolation is the silent killer of good ideas and great people.

We grow faster — and stay saner — when we share systems, strategies, and stories.

When we see that none of us are behind; we’re just on different cycles of the same spiral.

The Solo Biz Hacker Way

We’re a collective of independent thinkers who believe freedom doesn’t mean isolation — it means support without dependency.

We trade hacks for habits.

Funnels for follow-up.

Competition for collaboration.

Because when business feels human again —

momentum becomes inevitable, and community becomes your secret advantage.

FAQ's

How can you help me?

Too often we talk to solopreneurs who have wasted precious time and money on the wrong technology. Just because someone else is using it doesn't make it the right tool for you. The truth is, when you are starting out, you need a low-cost, minimum viable presence to start getting clients. As you grow you can add more tech to cope with the load. We help you get started the right way, making it easier to manage if you are managing it yourself, or more affordable if you are having someone manage it all for you.
We have over 50 years of combined experience of helping solopreneurs. We know the struggles, we know what it takes.

How long does it take to get set up?

Our team will assess your business processes, goals, and challenges to determine if GoHighLevel is a suitable solution. We'll recommend tools that align with your objectives, where ever you are in your business, making sure you're set up for success and growth. Getting set up should only take a couple of Zoom calls, mainly to get your website domain, email and any campaigns already written, your calendar and any branding you have, set up in the system. We will send you a list of what we will need once you have signed up. But you should be ready to go within 5 business days.

Who are you and why can you help?

We call ourselves The Solo Biz Hacker Collective as we don't really work for a particular company as such, but rather as a collective of individual solopreneurs who each bring particular skills to an agency type consultancy. As a team, we have over 50 years of combined experience in business and marketing processes, and B2B lead generation through LinkedIn, including 7 years working for an Inc 500 company. We’re experts at what we do.

Will I receive ongoing support after implementing the solutions?

Yes! When you sign up for our managed GoHighLevel service you automatically become a member of our Solo Biz Hacker Peer Group Community, where you can ask questions, get help and ideas when you need it, make friends with other solopreneurs, and even use your experience and expertise to help fellow members, as they can for you. DIYers can subscribe for $27 per month.

Why Go High Level vs. Keap, AC etc...?

The beauty of GoHighLevel is that you can do everything all in one platform rather than having to use a lot of different tools and trying to make them all work together, managing multiple subscriptions and logins, which can often be time consuming and frustrating! Not only that, but because we are experts in using GoHighLevel (we use it ourselves), we can help automate your processes, enhance team collaboration, and taking care of all the tech, thereby ensuring that you are left to focus on what truly matters—using your expertise to help your clients.
