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.

5 Lessons I am taking with me into 2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today isn’t about strategies or to-do lists. It is all about reflection my friends. And as this is the final episode of 2025, I thought I would share five lessons I’m taking with me into 2026. Lessons shaped by experience, perspective, and a whole lot of living in the in-between.
What I hope you take away from today's episode...
- Boredom can lead you far far away from your goals, so be careful my friends!
- Curiosity can be an incredible guide when used well.
- Focus is everything. The trick is to find it and use it well.
- When a trend conflicts with your goals, its best to skip it.
- We all need to step back and make time for rest if we want to achieve our goals.
