Hybrid Solopreneurs' Transition Challenges to Full-Time Solopreneurship

Are you:

  • A minority woman?

  • Geographically located in the USA?

  • Balancing a day job (full-time or part-time) with running your own business (hybrid solopreneur) without employees?

  • In the service-based coaching industry (including business, life, fitness, or nutrition coaching)?

  • Between the ages of 35-65?

If you answered YES to each of the questions listed above, you may be eligible to participate in a research study.

The purpose of this research study is to identify the struggles of solopreneurs who hold a day job while trying to build their business and to uncover challenges they experience in transitioning from full-time employment to full-time entrepreneurship.

Participants will be asked to do the following:

  • Take part in a one-on-one, virtual interview (1 hour)

Names and other identifying information will be requested as part of this study, but participant identities will not be disclosed.

An electronic consent form will be provided online once eligibility is confirmed before scheduling the interview.

All participants will receive:

  • an electronic exclusive collection of powerful tools and proven methods to boost productivity, optimize time management, and support business success.

As a BONUS thank-you gift for participating in the study, the first 20 qualified participants who fully complete the study can choose either:

  • a high-impact laser coaching session (20-30 minutes), focused on results-driven, personalized insights and actionable strategies to address one of your most pressing challenges, or

  • a $25.00 Amazon gift card

Participants that begin the interview but do not complete the interview will only receive the electronic resource bundle.

Karen Eason, a doctoral candidate in the School of Business at Liberty University, is conducting this study.
