Oprah Winfrey: “I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint — and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you."
Starting or running a business on your own can feel heavy. There’s so much to learn, so many choices to make, and it’s easy to feel stuck, confused, or second-guess yourself. Bonus Business Basics was created for solopreneurs and small business owners who want clarity, steady progress, and a calmer way to build a business that actually feels right.
This is a supportive collection of simple business resources to help you take your next steps with more confidence. Inside, you’ll find practical guidance, helpful tools, and real-world recommendations — including blogs, podcasts, books, and courses — all chosen to make business feel more doable, and less overwhelming. You don’t need to know everything, or do everything. You just need the right support at the right time.
Everything shared here is based on lived experience. I include resources I genuinely use and trust, along with insights from successful business owners, so you can learn from what’s already been tried and tested. This saves you time, energy, and unnecessary stress, while helping you make choices that align with who you are, and how you want to work.
Bonus Business Basics will continue to grow, giving you a reliable place to come back to as your business evolves. Expect clear foundations, kind encouragement, and guidance you can use straight away — so you can move forward with confidence, build a business you enjoy, and create a working life that supports you, not drains you.
"You can't get much done in life if you only work on days when you feel good." – Jerry West
