Building Solo, But Not Alone: Live Mentorship for Solopreneurs

LearnI’ve spent the last year building Beyond Aligned Books to help solopreneurs with their bookkeeping and operations. But the most common thing I heard wasn’t “I need better accounting.”

It was “I’m doing everything myself and I feel so alone.”

That stopped me in my tracks.

These brilliant solopreneurs—people who are exceptional at their craft—weren’t struggling because they lacked information. Google and YouTube have solved that problem. They were struggling because they lacked structure, accountability, and someone in their corner when they inevitably got stuck.

That’s why I’m building Thrive Hive.

What Is Thrive Hive Live?

Starting Monday, February 9th, I’m launching a 21-week live mentorship series for bootstrapping solopreneurs. Every Monday at 9:30a Pacific / 12:30p Eastern, I’ll teach one step of my complete roadmap for building a sustainable solo business.

This isn’t a polished course you watch alone in your pajamas at 2am (though I support that life choice). It’s live mentorship with real-time problem-solving and a community of people building alongside you.

Each week you’ll get:

A 45-minute live session walking through one step
An implementation workbook to guide you through (free for 7 days after each session)
Access to replays on YouTube if you can’t make it live
A community of fellow solopreneurs tackling the same challenges

Why Am I Doing This Live?

Here’s the thing: I could have spent six months building the “perfect” course, polishing every slide, recording flawless videos, and launching something pristine.

But that’s not how real business works.

Real business is messy. It’s iterative. It’s “I thought this would work but let me adjust.” It’s learning from the people you’re trying to serve, not hiding in a room making assumptions about what they need.

So I’m building this WITH you, not FOR you.

If something in Week 5 isn’t landing, we’ll adjust Week 6 together. If someone asks a question in Week 8 that makes me realize I need to add something to Week 12, we’ll do that. This is collaborative, not dictatorial.

I’m transitioning from “bookkeeper who mentors” to “mentor who also does bookkeeping” because I’ve realized my energy comes from conversations, pattern-spotting, and helping people build confidence in their decisions. The numbers matter, but the person behind the numbers matters more.

Who This Is For

Thrive Hive Live is designed for you if:

You’re building solo but crave someone to brainstorm with. You’re tired of making every decision in a vacuum and second-guessing yourself constantly.
You’re realizing you don’t know what you don’t know. The gaps in your knowledge are starting to show, and you’re not sure which problems to solve first.
You feel overwhelmed and wonder if you’re missing critical information. You’ve watched a hundred YouTube videos but still can’t connect the dots into a coherent business strategy.
You want a sustainable business that fits your life. You’re not trying to build a venture-backed unicorn. You want a business that supports your lifestyle without consuming it.

If you’re a bootstrapping solopreneur under $100K in revenue who wants structure instead of just more information, this is for you.

The 21-Step Roadmap

We’re walking through my complete framework for launching and running a sustainable solo business:

Phase 1: Clarity & Foundation (Steps 1-7)
Get clear on your why, define your offer, understand your market, and build your support network.

Phase 2: Test & Learn (Steps 8-11)
Create your landing page, start testing your offer, and gather real feedback before you build everything.

Phase 3: Make It Official (Steps 12-15)
Lock in the legal and financial foundation, set up proper systems, and handle your tax obligations.

Phase 4: Build Your Visibility Engine (Steps 16-17)
Develop consistent marketing and establish your online presence.

Phase 5: Protect & Sustain (Steps 18-21)
Set yourself up for sustainable success with insurance, planning for delegation, and creating systems for what you’ll repeat.

What Makes This Different

Most business courses are built by people who built their business once, then spent the next decade teaching about it. They’re teaching from memory, not current experience.

I’m building my mentorship business right now, using the same frameworks I’m teaching. When I talk about testing offers, I’m testing Thrive Hive’s pricing in real-time. When I teach about building community, I’m building this community with you.

This is “learn by doing” for both of us.

And it’s free. The weekly live sessions, the workbooks, the community—all of it is accessible without payment. There’s an optional membership tier if you want ongoing support between sessions, but the core teaching is available to anyone who shows up.

Join Us Monday

If you’re building solo but don’t want to build alone, join us.

First session is Monday, February 9th at 9:30a PT / 12:30p ET.

Step 1: Define Your Why & Set Your Boundaries

We’ll walk through the values exercise that changes everything—the one that helps you figure out not just what you’re building, but why it matters and what boundaries you need to protect as you grow.
