We’ve won. Sort of. Remote work is now mainstream. You can set your hours, work in sweatpants, and finally say goodbye to soul-draining commutes.

‍

For a lot of us, it’s the dream we used to talk about over lunch breaks or in Slack DMs. And now we’re in it.

‍

But here’s what nobody warned us about: working remotely isn’t the same as working in a community—and if you’re building a business or taking your first steps as a solopreneur, the difference can make or break you.

‍

Working Alone Doesn’t Mean You Have to Feel Alone

In theory, remote work gives you freedom. In practice? It often gives you isolation.

‍

That moment when you're staring at your screen wondering, Is this even the right move? Or when you're trying to build momentum but you’re stuck in your head, second-guessing every choice. No team. No hallway chats. No brainstorming over coffee. Just you—and a million tabs open.

‍

Sound familiar?

‍

This is where community comes in. Not a huge networking group with awkward introductions or a Facebook group that’s all self-promotion. I’m talking about real connection with people who get what you're building—and are building too.

‍

‍This is where we bring in events like Coworking for deep work and Connect Calls to create deeper relationships with other entrepreneurs.

‍

Solopreneurs Need Feedback Loops, Not Just Freedom

Here’s what I’ve seen after working with dozens of early-stage founders and solo builders:

• It’s not the tools or the tech that hold them back.
• It’s the lack of feedback, support, and momentum.

‍

When you’re inside a strong, like-minded community, a few things happen:

• You stop overthinking and start executing.
• You share your wins (and someone celebrates with you).
• You ask a question, and get an answer from someone who’s already solved it.
• You stay accountable, even on the days you don’t feel like showing up.

‍

Community isn't a bonus. For many solopreneurs, it's the difference between burning out and building something that lasts.

‍

‍Everyone talks about "freedom" in entrepreneurship, including me. But do you know what comes with freedom? Chaos, time-wasting, uncertain priorities and targets, and disorganization.

‍

Having other committed and disciplined people keeping each other accountable and on track is truly game-changing.

‍

The Real ROI of Being in the Right Room

The people around you shape your pace, your mindset, and your momentum. When you’re in the right room, things change. Ideas get sharper. Decisions get easier. You move faster and further.

‍

That’s what we’ve built inside ​Mentee​, our private community for early-stage entrepreneurs and solo builders. It’s not about showing off or being “further along.” It’s about growing together, with events, weekly challenges, open feedback spaces, and real accountability.

‍

Because let’s be real:

You don’t need another course.

You need a crew.
