    Looking for something different? Well, this podcast is for you! In this episode of The Solopreneur Journey, Stacie Kiselman calls herself an Accidental Entrepreneur who built a business after a life-changing car accident left her battling chronic illness and mental challenges. It also gave Stacie the courage to exit an unfulfilling career in human resources to become an entrepreneur turned career consultant and author. Brief Background of Host of The Solopreneur Journey Podcast, Ex-pat Entrepreneur Jewel Daniels   Jewel Daniels is the head of Daniels Communications Global, a leadership development firm specializing in executive coaching, cultural competency, and developing leaders. She is also the author of four books, with her latest becoming a bestseller, https://jeweldaniels.net/new-book-profile (Three Sides of Every Crisis: Strategies to Sustain Business, Manage Your Career and Take Care of You). The book talks about how to find opportunities amid a crisis by learning to adjust your perspective so you can pivot, strategize, and take action to #kickthecrisis.   About The Solopreneur Journey Podcast   [00:01:43] Many would consider Stacie’s challenges with a chronic illness unsurmountable. Instead, she leans into her talent as a writer to push past challenges and find new opportunities to expand and serve her clients. Facing her challenges opened the door to her, becoming an Accidental Entrepreneur! [00:05:24] Six months after a severe car accident and growing frustrated with a career in human resources, Stacie’s side hustle became your main hustle. Battling seizures, chronic illness, anger, and frustration, plus mental illness became fuel for entrepreneurial ambitions. Grabbing her credit card and faith in herself, Stacie built a new website for her freelance writing service. [00:10:23] Build on your foundation when starting a business. A background in HR meant offering job-seeking consulting and writing services that eventually led to more significant projects. Now, Stacie helps would-be authors pen their first book. [00:15:04] The journey of a solopreneur can become overwhelming where self-care takes a backseat to client needs. Learning to pay attention to your body’s warning signs, individual triggers and knowing when to stop working is critical to self-survival and solopreneurship. When you fail to do so, you also fail to make money. [00:20:04] Finding a healthy balance between work and self-care is one battle of business ownership. The other is dealing with misconceptions that strike against your authentic self. How does an introvert find comfort with communicating consistently to attract, earn, and retain business while dealing with multiple personality types? [00:25:01] A leap of faith to become a solopreneur takes courage. When doing so, go into it, knowing that you will make mistakes and recover from them if you are willing to learn. Those moments help you to become a better entrepreneur. They also teach you to be authentic with yourself about how you manage things personally that will manifest professionally, which clients can see and respond to that will hurt or help your business.  [00:27:55] Stacie is a disabled businesswoman who continues to build a business despite my disabilities learning lessons from things achieved and mistakes made along the way.   Having tenacity and a love for what you do helps you continue the race.
