Why Most Solopreneurs Are One Crisis Away From Disaster

Most solopreneurs are sprinting through their to-do list and quietly hoping their money “works out later.” The truth is later shows up faster than you think, especially when you’re building a business and a career at the same time.

In this episode of the Lifestyle Solopreneur podcast with host Flavia Berys, we dive into the real-world money mistakes that pushed me into the Army, the life lessons I learned the hard way, and why so many smart adults still feel lost when it comes to personal finance and entrepreneurship.

We break down the financial literacy gap, why entrepreneurs often struggle to manage income and cash flow, and the practical systems I use to help people simplify their finances. You’ll learn how to protect yourself from identity theft, why freezing your credit is one of the most important steps you can take, and how to search for unclaimed money that may already be owed to you.

I also share the core principles from my book “Your Future Is Now,” including how to build a financial foundation that supports your lifestyle, your business, and your long-term income goals without getting overwhelmed.

If you’re a lifestyle solopreneur, freelancer, or online business owner who wants financial clarity, stronger income habits, and long-term stability, this episode gives you practical moves you can make this week to get ahead in both life and entrepreneurship.
