Take 1-3 months while you are attending school to plan and prepare your brain and physical environment for the big transition. Take care of your mental by no circumstances shall you stay up all night after you are tired and your body has shut down. Pick a cut off time for your studies and go to sleep. Your brain and body will thank you later. Here are some tips to help you prepare for the process.
Attending online school showed you that you can start an online business and earn an income from teaching what you know. Pay attention to the things you are learning and how you can apply this or relate this to your life as a Solopreneur. Keep the end in mind as you navigate the possibilites of getting what you want by working less, but more effective, than you have imagined. Although, you have an idea of what you want to do, you will be spending the next steps figuring out. But don’t worry, it will all come together through persistent pursuits. Through persistence, your life experiences and the people you continue to learn from beyond your education will be significant.
Since, in todays digital age, many people are moving towards online learning. In order to manage this effectively, you must be disciplined to the process. If you are still a student in school, this is also a time to start working on your Solopreneur Business. This is something you love right now, start thinking of and putting into action your own right now.
Keep a flow between classes and your business: Determine how long each class will be some ranging from 8-12 weeks on average for college. Focus your brain to maintain a consistent vision everyday during the duration of each class. Don’t take too many classes at once. Two is the recommended maximum for those who are responsible for children of all ages or work outside of home. Even two classes will seem like your world is falling apart.

- Daily Planner used to record your due dates from the syllabus
- Pre-Set up Study Space and a backup study space as well because it will help to move around every few weeks to revive your energy if needed. This is where you get all your school and office supplies needed.
- Risk Management. During those planning weeks, foresee and manage all risks that may interfere (these can become your excuses and stumbling block to quit, which is not an option). Risks include unmanaged home, no schedule for children, eating, no babysitter if needed, a plan to keep your internet connection, things chipping at your time that you can’t afford when school starts. You can’t be everything for everybody anymore, you need to focus on you.
- Scheduled Times Out: Hanging with family and friends. No random outings unless you are celebrating a completed assignment.
- Celebrate: every week save those things you like to do for yourself, catching up on shows, cooking favorite meals, sleeping in once a week or whatever brings you joy, save those things for use of celebrating your weekly accomplishments no matter how small they were.
- Be prepared to spend 3 hours per week on communicating with your class room peers on discussion posts. This a huge part of your grade, do not take this for granted. Use this time to learn how you will be communicating for your business.
- Recommended Supplies: I recommend one 5-Subject Notebook, at least two one subject notebooks, 1 pack of loose paper and a pack of colorful pens for each class. I say colorful, because black and blue can make you feel dull real quick. However, switching colors keeps it interesting and easier to read and also brings out the creativity in you! (That’s Simple Valuable Information)!
- A 3 ring binder for loose leaf notes and print out. Never throw away anything you write during the duration of the class. Loose leaf paper can be used for research notes, writing down sources and side notes. But do not throw them away. You may look for that information later. This practice gives you offica assistant skills you need for your business.
- A Mason Jar for your pens.
- Prior Access. Don’t forget, most online classrooms allows one week access prior to the start date. Take advantage of that time.
