From 9-5 jobs to solopreneur, a new chapter
Welcome to my newsletter! 👋
This is my first post so I’m gonna introduce myself briefly and explain to you why I’m starting this newsletter. I invite you to subscribe so you won’t miss out the upcoming posts!
A little bit about me.
My name is Vivien, I’m 35-year-old, French and living in the sunny south of France. I love cats, reading books and I do a lot of sports (table tennis, cheerleading, fitness), which accounts for about 20 hours per week. So time management is quite the task as you can imagine!
For the past 13 years, I’ve been working as a mobile app developer across companies of various sizes, from early-stage startups to multinationals. And it was around the time Covid-19 hit that the idea of solopreneurship popped in my mind.
3 years later and a miserable last experience in a 9-5 job, I decided it was time to move on to a new chapter in my career. And here I am, November 2023, finally on my own, ready to fail and hopefully succeed as a solopreneur!
In recent months, I’ve been reading a lot about experiences shared by people going solopreneur as well. I’ve learned so much from them, like how hard it can be when you start from scratch on your own, about their successes and failures, the challenges they faced, growing a community on X (Twitter), the different tools they use to manage their business, etc. This is so interesting for me, I can’t get enough of it!
That is why I want to start sharing my journey as well. If people have helped me, I believe I can help people too!
I will try to post a monthly update where I’ll share what I’ve been working on, what I’ve learned and resources I find useful.
So make sure to subscribe to my newsletter to not miss any content!
