I never believed in the phrase “solo-preneur” , now I get it.

You probably will start off doing everything in your business yourself , from packaging orders to answering emails to running your own social media. And at first, it feels manageable. Maybe even empowering. But if you’re not thinking about building a team, you’re already capping your potential.

Better yet, let me say it like this , you’re stunting your growth before you even give it a chance to expand. You’re setting up limitations when you should be thinking about multiplication.

Nothing sustainable is done without a team.

And isn’t it mind-blowing that the ant already understands this? That it’s built into its DNA to work with others? There’s no solo mission in an ant colony , they move in unity, not chaos. They move with shared purpose, not selfish ambition.

But truth is, that same thing is built into us too. God made us for community. We were designed to build with others, to rely on the strengths of those around us. So when you think about your business, think about your team, yes , but also think about the community you’re called to serve. The values you share. The vision you’re working toward. The destination you’re aiming for.

I’ve built quite a few businesses over the years. And I’ll be real with you , the ones I tried to do completely by myself didn’t last. I worked myself into the ground. No days off. Burned out. And here’s the thing: the money didn’t even make me feel better. Because when you’re building with the mindset of “keeping it all,” that’s exactly when you start losing it.

I learned that the win is in the we.

The growth is in the group.

And the mission gets clearer when everyone’s locked into the same objective.

So whatever you’re building, think team. Think together. Move so in sync that every person is pulling their weight , not just to check a box but to push the whole thing forward.

The ant gets it. So should we.
