Do you use a coach, mentor, or just go it alone?
I'm building ClaritySMB because I experienced the power of business coaching firsthand. Having a coach completely changed how I approached my business, but at $1,000+ per month, it's just not realistic for most solo entrepreneurs.
Most business tools are built for teams. Most coaches cost $1,000+ per month. And most advice is generic fluff that doesn't actually help you decide what to work on this week.
Here's what I'm building instead:
A business coaching platform that gives solo founders the clarity and structure they need to actually execute, not just brainstorm.
Quick Question for Fellow Solo Founders
What's your biggest struggle right now?
Knowing which opportunities to pursue (and which to ignore)?
Staying consistent when you're wearing every hat?
Actually following through on your quarterly goals?
Something else entirely?
I've learned that most of us don't lack ideas or motivation. We lack a clear system to cut through the noise and focus on what moves the needle.
Want to Help Shape This?
We're looking for 25 solo business owners to test the early version and give us honest feedback. In return, you get free access for a full year plus direct input on the features we build.
Whether you're interested in testing or just want to share what you wish existed to help solo founders stay focused and grow, I'd love to hear from you.
Drop a comment below. Always happy to connect with fellow builders who get the solo founder struggle.

Flying solo right now, and honestly?
The toughest part isn't the grind.
It's knowing which doors to kick down first.
I've got the drive, but sometimes you need someone who's been there to help you see the bigger picture and cut through the noise. A solid mentor could take this whole thing to the next level. Sounds like we might be onto something here.
@lucascliberato Let me know if you want to give it a shot. We can set up some time and I can show it to you and get you set up with that free account.
Seems interesting. Is it AI based or a mentor aggregation platform?
@manu_goel2 It's AI based.
Having a coach is good; but frankly speaking - all the knowledge anyone needs is already available on the Internet in the form of free courses. You can lean all you know by simply reading other people's stories.
It all boils down to:
1. Validating your product idea before building it.
