The Solo Grind
Welcome to the solo grind. Your weekly coffee break with a fellow solo entrepreneur who's right there in it with you. I am Teresa Schlup the original caffeine creative and this is where real business meets real life. No hype just honest conversations about building a business on your own terms. We talk mindset, strategy, burnout, breakthroughs, and everything in between because going solo doesn't mean doing it alone.
Grab a cup of coffee, find your favorite spot, and let's talk about what it really takes to do this thing solo.
The Solo Grind
Love Your Dream More Than Excuses
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This month, we’ve been talking all about LOVE—loving our businesses, our boundaries, our homes, and most importantly, the lives we’re creating. But let’s be real... living a life you love isn’t just about dream jobs, bubble baths, and champagne. Sometimes, it’s about loving your dreams more than your excuses.
Last week, I got hit with Influenza A (yep, the full fever, body aches, miserable experience). And let me tell you—everyone around me had solid reasons why I should hit pause and take it easy. And while I did take care of myself, I also knew something important: I love what I’m building more than the excuses trying to sneak in and keep me stuck.
That’s exactly what we’re talking about in this episode—the three biggest excuses that sneak in and hold us back—Time, Money, and Fear.
These excuses? They feel real, and maybe they are. But it is up to us to make the choice of just what gets our attention... our dreams or excuses.
So grab your coffee, hit play, and let’s talk about how to love your dreams more than your excuses.
