If I were to describe a TYPICAL first session with a solopreneur hoping to become a private client of mine, it would go something like this: Self-bosser walks in and excitedly rattles off what they envision for themselves in their business… tells me how many people LOVE what they’re up to…. and recites compliments they’ve
