my favorite marketing strategy

I enjoy running free webinars. After years of experimenting (and fumbling through different formats!)

A soulpreneur business lives at the intersection of what lights you up, and what people value enough to pay for. This post focuses on the second half — what people want to buy — because it’s the half most solopreneurs skip.
