🟩 The solopreneur’s new scorecard

Aug 23, 2025 3:36 pm

Hi ,

One of the biggest mindset shifts I hear about from fractionals and consultants leaving corporate is how much they struggle to define success.

In corporate, success is clear.

A promotion means you are moving up.

A bigger salary means you are doing well.

A new title gives you status in the hierarchy.

The system is designed to tell you how you are doing at all times.

But when you go out on your own, all of that disappears.

There is no boss to hand you a performance review.

No clear ladder to climb.

No “next title” waiting around the corner.

At first, that silence feels unsettling.

People wonder, “Am I doing enough? Am I even on the right track?”

Here is the shift: success in solopreneurship is not about external markers.

It is about internal ones.

Maybe it is the freedom to choose the projects you work on.

Maybe it is the ability to spend more time with your family.

Maybe it is the satisfaction of seeing a client’s problem solved because of your expertise.

Maybe it is simply having more control over your calendar than you ever had before.

These wins do not come with certificates, applause, or a promotion ceremony.

But they are the real signs of success.

The key is to stop measuring yourself by the yardsticks of corporate life.

Start asking, “What does success look like for me, in this season of my life?”

The answers might surprise you.

And they might be far more rewarding than any title ever was.

So tell me — how do you define success for yourself now?
