Hey there,

My sister is in the midst of starting a business. And this past weekend, as I helped her do dishes while standing in her ripped-apart kitchen, I finally saw how badly she actually wants this.

Bad enough to tear out the kitchen floor and take the pantry down to studs.

Bad enough to navigate stacks of bureaucracy and paperwork.

Bad enough to start marketing herself even though she's a huge introvert.

It's the coolest thing in the world.

I've been in business full time for over 12 years, and it's never been easy. There's so much to learn. So much pressure. So many times when it would have been easier just to throw in the towel and get a "real" job with a steady paycheck.

But!

• Every time I step into my amazing and ergonomic home office, I remember how I wanted this so badly I would work from the dining room table.
• Every time I interact with my incredible community, I remember how used to throw up out of panic before I could go to a networking event.
• Every time I say yes to an interesting new project, I remember how many frustrating, boring copywriting jobs I forced myself to take to make ends meet.

I wanted the freedom of being my own boss so badly that I was willing to push through almost anything to make it happen.

And now I'm watching my sister start her home bakery, and I'm reminded of how important it is to want something for it to happen.

She's been talking about starting this business for more than a year. She's thrown herself into learning the laws and applying for permits. To pre-marketing her goods and talking herself up with potential customers. To getting comfortable with the tech she'll need to use.

She wants this. To the extent that she and her husband are DIY remodeling their kitchen even though they've got three kids and a packed schedule.

If she didn't want it, she'd have let it go ages ago.

The hard parts of running a business don't get easier. But they've worth it if it's important enough to you.

I'm happy that I've been able to be a resource for my sister as she's getting started, because wanting it isn't enough. You also need support from people who know what it's like to go through the struggle.

For me, that was the Freelance Writer's Den as I was first getting started. Then it was my local fiction writing community, a handful of informal mastermind groups, and different writing organizations and networking communities.

So, when I started transitioning my business from being a freelancer to being a coach last year, I knew community would be critical. I joined a new one specifically for online entrepreneurs—which is where I met Tara Reid.

You may remember her from the Introvertpreneur Summit (which I spoke at a few months ago). Many of you mentioned how great that event was, so when Tara told me she was opening up her Introvertpreneur Club this month, I know I had to share that here.

If you're looking for a community to help you through the hard parts of business, definitely check it out.

The Introvertpreneur Club isn't a monthly membership—it's a one-time payment for lifetime access. 🤯

That means you pay once and you get every digital product or course Tara has ever created, plus everything she creates in the future, for as long as the Club exists. And let me tell you, she has created a LOT of incredible resources. An entire library worth of templates and toolkits.

But you don't just get access to the library, you get access to other introverted entrepreneurs and to Tara herself.

She also runs regular challenges, like the monthly Get It Done Week, where the whole community is focused on finishing something instead of adding more to the pile. (There are even prizes!) If you've got a project that's been sitting half-finished, this might be exactly the push it needs.

And the great news is that from September 14-30, Tara is offering $1,000 off a lifetime membership to The Introvertpreneur Club.

👉 This is the lowest price it's ever been, and it's only available for the next two weeks.​

Here's what's included:

• A private community of introverted entrepreneurs
• A monthly live training or workshop
• A monthly group coaching call
• A full week of 1:1 Voxer office hours with Tara every month
• A Get It Done Week each month, with prizes for taking action
• A quarterly challenge, also with prizes
• The chance to submit one thing a week (an offer, a blog post, a sales page, an email sequence, whatever you're working on) and get a video back reviewing it

If you've been looking for a community to help you through the hard parts but don't want to end up in a room full of people trying to sell you something (or pay a monthly expense), this deal is worth every penny.

The $1,000 off deal ends September 30.

👉 Join The Club Here​

And when you're in those hard stages of business, remember that you're not alone. And it's worth dragging yourself through the trenches to get to the other side.

Talk soon,

Jessie
