About this course

Going solo removes the boss but also the salary, the team, and the safety net, and that exposure is as much psychological as financial. This course gives you concrete tools, the ABC model, the dichotomy of control, growth-mindset reframes, WOOP planning, and a runway-based confidence metric, to regulate your nervous system through famine months and rejection. You finish with a personal resilience operating system, a written rejection protocol, and a dry-spell action plan built from your own numbers and triggers.
