I love this article! It arrived at just the right time, only months into my solopreneur adventure, and it provides the reassurance I need to keep going. Thank you, Jane, for sharing such an honest portrait of the realities of starting a small business. ❤️
Thank you so much for your comments and support Candy. It's hard work and so rewarding, and finally having it contribute to the bills is worth it all! x
Fantastic article Jane. Huge congratulations on paying yourself!
Loved the wobbly tooth line. And your honesty. I am absolutely with you on the 7-figure stuff on socials at the moment (and in my inbox!). It's made to look so easy and quick. It's demoralising for small business owners and is adding another layer of pressure and expectations.
Haha! Even at 48 I remember clearly the way my tongue always found its way to the wobbly tooth I was trying to leave alone!
Thank you for the congratulations. It feels so massive. It's all too easy to think that you're failing when you compare yourself to those sales messages and emails. It's a long, hard slog with sheer joy thrown in for the ride (as I'm sure you know!) xx
Thank you so much Victoria. I'm so pleased that it felt good to read it. Scary to write, but I think you're right when you say it's important for other small businesses owners to see and read. I hope it helps. Finger's crossed for that pay raise, I'll review it with myself at my review meetings! 😉

Such an important and honest post; it means so much to read words like these alongside all those 7-figures posts!
And also, congratulations on your pay cheque! May it be the first of many, and not too long before your first pay rise.
