T
he entrepreneurial world can
be a lonely place. If you’re
a solopreneur that doesn’t
work in a co-working space, your
social interaction can become ex-
tremely limited.
Even if you do work in a co-work-
ing space or have a business part-
ner, you’re still not being exposed
to the same number of people as
you would be at a typical corpo-
rate job. Finding a community is
important to help alleviate some
of the symptoms of entrepreneur-
ship, such as feelings of loneliness,
depression, and uncertainty.
Not only can community help you
feel less alone, it can also help you
keep from making some serious
business mistakes and even pro-
vide you with tons of free resourc-
es!
I’ve saved myself many business
errors while scrolling through
Facebook Groups like the Rising
Tide Society or Savvy Business
Owners. I look forward to getting
my RTS Tuesdays Together PDF
each month because there’s al-
ways actionable content that lands
in my inbox for free.
The Savvy group introduced me to
one of my favorite podcasts, Cre-
ative Empire, and the Think Cre-
ative Collective group introduced
me to another, Smart Passive In-
come. ness and that creates a strong
sense of community.
Being a member of these commu-
nities also means we have access
to free webinars, a myriad of blog
posts on a variety of topics, and
access to experts in many different
areas of entrepreneurship. Facebook Groups
I’ve even hired members of my
team from these groups because
we’ve connected on a personal
level before chatting about busi-
Where do you find such commu-
nity? Try these ideas:
Naturally, Facebook Groups are
a great place to find community.
Engage in groups without an ulte-
rior motive (such as client mining,
etc.). Participate in conversations
without tagging your business or
mentioning what you do (unless
asked).
