As someone who has previously tried to launch a venture solely on my own, I can tell you it is very difficult and time consuming. There are so many angles to think about that closing all gaps in the venture feels nearly impossible. In recent years secondary word has emerged for an entrepreneur that operates on their own, a solopreneur. There are several different meanings to "solopreneur", but for the most part the terms mean the same thing.

Feeling alone in your goal to launch and sustain a venture can feel overwhelming when there is no structure or community to venture to for assistance or feedback. But keep in mind, no one lives in a vacuum. We all need feedback and a way to feel connected to like minds, the local economy and related industries. Entrepreneur magazine online has an article on this very subject, "Where to Find a Community If You're a Solopreneur".

Another great way to build relationships, get feedback and add your knowledge to the community is right here on our Forums. Our goal is to grow our forums into a great knowledge base with a local focus. So head on over and if you don't see what you are looking for initially, ask for others to answer you.
