You Don’t Have a Motivation Problem. You Have a Structure Problem.
Okay. I’m going to say this with love.
You are not lazy.
You are not “bad at consistency.”
You do not need another podcast episode about discipline.
You need structure.
Because right now? You’re building your business like a group project in high school where nobody knows who’s in charge and everyone assumes someone else is doing the work.
Chaos.
Let me paint the picture:
Monday: You’re on fire. New week. Fresh energy. You’re like, “This is it. THIS is my breakthrough week.”
Tuesday: You’re researching something “important.” (It’s not important.)
Wednesday: You’re doubting your offer.
Thursday: You’re redesigning your logo for emotional support.
Friday: You’re exhausted… from being busy but not productive.
That’s not a motivation problem.
That’s a “no system holding this thing together” problem.
You’re trying to run a business off vibes and caffeine.
And babe… vibes don’t pay school fees.
Let Me Tell You About One Of My Clients
I had a client, brilliant woman. Smart. Capable. Big heart.
But her income looked like a toddler drew it with crayons. Up. Down. Random.
One month $1.5K.
Next month barely scraping by.
Then a random good week that made her think, “Okay maybe I’ve cracked it.”
She hadn’t cracked it.
She was winging it.
So we stopped trying to “motivate” her.
We did three things:
Cleaned up her offer
Simplified her weekly content
Created a basic sales rhythm she could repeat even on low-energy days
Within weeks she wasn’t panicking every month-end anymore.
Nothing magical happened.
She didn’t suddenly become a productivity robot.
She just stopped building on sand.
Here’s The Unsexy Truth
Motivation is like that friend who hypes you up at the club.
Fun. Loud. Energetic.
But disappears when it’s time to do admin.
Structure is the friend who shows up with a spreadsheet and snacks.
Not glamorous.
Very effective.
If your business feels heavy, confusing, or constantly “almost there,” it’s usually because:
Your offer isn’t clear enough
You don’t know what you’re selling this week
Your content has no job
You’re busy… but not building anything stable
You don’t need more confidence.
You need a repeatable plan.
The S.O.L.O Method (AKA Stop Winging It)
This is what I use with clients and what changed everything for me.
S – Strategy Clarity → What are we actually selling? To who? And what income are we targeting? Not vibes. Numbers.
O – Offer Positioning → If someone asks what you do, can you answer without a 3-minute TED Talk?
L – Leverage Content → Every post either builds trust or moves someone toward buying. No random “just showing up.”
O – Ownership Sales → You stop hinting. You stop apologizing. You sell like an adult who knows her work has value.
That’s it.
It’s not complicated.
But it requires you to stop romanticizing chaos.
When I started, I thought I needed more confidence.
Nope. I needed structure.
Once I built simple systems, even with WhatsApp groups and business cards everything changed.
Not overnight.
But consistently.
And consistency is what pays.
That’s exactly why I created the Badass Solopreneur Vault.
It’s not “inspiration.”
It’s the structure.
The templates.
The frameworks.
The clarity tools.
The sales systems.
The stuff you use when you don’t feel motivated.
Right now it’s $50 for the year.
Which is honestly ridiculous for what’s inside… and that price is going up end of March.
So here’s your loving nudge:
You can keep waiting to feel more ready.
Or you can build something solid that works even when you’re tired, moody, or doubting yourself.
P.S. Stop Winging It, Babe.
