We understand where you’re coming from! The Yes Ahead Support System has been designed to help you overcome your hurdles and get you moving forwards again.How does Yes Ahead work?Watch this video FIRST.

Step 1: Unburden: Share a problem with us and get some relief in the process

Running a solo business comes with a lot of challenges, such as self-doubt, isolation and setbacks. You’ve definitely been through a lot of ups and downs. Come and share one of your challenges with us along with a tactic to overcome it.For example, if you found yourself stressed out by customer enquiries that you couldn’t answer straight away, perhaps you developed an FAQ page to answer general queries, and added it to your website.By Unburdening your problem with us, you’ll get a sense of relief and also inspire other solos who understand what you’re going through.

How Unburden works

* Share a challenge with us, whether recent or current, and a tactic you developed to tackle it, by answering 2 questions in a fill-in form.* Your struggle will be shared in our Yes Ahead newsletter, to inspire the community there. You’ll also join the newsletter as a result of sharing.

Once you’ve completed the Unburden step, you’ll be given the option to join our second step, Unload, which is our mastermind.

How to share your story

When you’re sharing your problem, just focus on one incident, whether past or present.Share your story as if you were telling a stranger about it. Don’t worry about grammar or trying to be perfect.Don’t include names of any individuals or companies involved. No swearing either!Be as detailed as you can.

An example

To give you a short example, so you know how to structure things:

I once had a problem with an account executive, for an advertising company I’d partnered with for an online business. He was taking over from the previous exec (who’d worked with me for 5 years) and made assumptions about me in his introductory email. He assumed my online business was “just a hobby” and that I had no business experience (wrong on both accounts). New guy also threatened to close down my account, unless I did some things he wanted me to do to maintain it. That was his intro email!So how did I respond? I didn’t reply straight away, mainly because I was angry. But when I was ready to do so, I forwarded his email to his CEO and line manager first, waited for their response, and then copied them in on my reply to him, dropping their names too. Yeah, that got his attention big time! He was grovelling and everything :)

So, time to share your story

Come and Unburden yourself.
