Networking, meeting new people, and building genuine business relationships is an important part of building a business as a solopreneur but it can be confusing to navigate when you are also trying to sell your service in an authentic way.

Creating genuine relationships takes time and practice. It’s far more than going to an event and passing out business cards. It requires curiosity, listening, and following up later to learn more about the other person.

This is a different approach than the purely transactional “salesy” way many solopreneurs try to avoid, but there are also some challenges that arise with a purely relationship-based networking strategy.

Sometimes, you may find yourself getting too far into the friend zone, which will take up all your time and bring you no business leads.

Today’s episode is all about navigating the fine line between networking, lead generation and sales.

Many solopreneurs sabotage their success by accidentally blocking the flow of prosperity in their businesses without even realizing it.

It’s called cash “flow”’ for a reason.

I know it doesn’t sound logical, but we are all either going with our flow or struggling in resistance to it.

This is the most true when it comes to money.

Most struggling solopreneurs have some internal resistance that is blocking the flow of prosperity.

The good news is, once you identify what’s blocking your money channels, you can do what it takes to unblock them and turn on the money faucet.

Today’s episode is all about the sneaky ways you may be repelling money in your business.

Gabe Nelson is the bestselling author of The Solopreneur’s Money Manifesto:  How to Master Your Finances and Create the Life You Want and hosts the popular podcast:  Solopreneur Money.

After almost three decades of experience in the financial industry and more than a decade as a small business owner, Gabe realized that his favorite clients were solopreneurs and business owners like himself. 

He also knew that with more of the workforce becoming self-employed every day, more people could benefit from working with an advisor who knows how to plan for the whole financial picture, including legal, estate, financial, retirement, life, disability, and more.

Gabe understands that solopreneurs and independent professionals have specific needs that most financial advisors don’t recognize, so he takes his own entrepreneurial spirit and passion for providing a personal touch to focus on helping solopreneurs with their comprehensive money planning needs.
