Self-employment can be lonely
Self-employment offers freedom and independence, but it can also be isolating.
Without colleagues to bounce ideas off or a team to share challenges with, it’s easy to feel disconnected.
Whether you're looking for professional support, opportunities to collaborate, or simply someone who understands the ups and downs of working for yourself, building meaningful connections as a self-employed person can be difficult - especially if you’re not used to putting yourself out there.
