Solopreneur Life is a podcast for people building one-person businesses on purpose.
This show is for side hustlers who want to turn their work into a sustainable solo business without burnout, hustle culture, or chasing endless growth. There is no talk of building to the moon here. Instead, we focus on finding a comfortable level of income, protecting it, and creating space to actually live life outside of work.
Host Andy Hill shares transparent interviews with real solopreneurs who have intentionally built one-person businesses that support their lives. You will hear honest conversations about money, time freedom, lifestyle design, and what it truly takes to make the leap from employee to owner.
Alongside interviews, Andy also shares solo episodes with practical guidance and lessons from his own solopreneur journey.
Solopreneur Life is about margin over more, confidence over chaos, and building a business that helps you own your time.
Stop Doing Your Own Bookkeeping (Your Time Is Worth More)
Are you spending too much time managing your small business finances instead of growing your business or enjoying your life?
As solopreneurs, we're used to doing everything ourselves. But just because we can handle every task doesn't mean we should.
In this episode of Solopreneur Life, we explore why outsourcing your bookkeeping could be one of the smartest investments you make in your business. Andy shares his experience of hiring an accountant seven years ago, how that decision helped him reclaim valuable time, and why buying back your freedom can be just as important as increasing your revenue.
We'll discuss how to calculate the value of your time, three signs you're ready to outsource your bookkeeping, and why it's important to stay involved in your business finances even when someone else is managing the numbers.
Whether you're just starting out or running a profitable one-person business, this episode will help you think differently about outsourcing, profitability, and building a business that supports your life.
Because the goal isn't to do everything yourself. It's to build a business that gives you the freedom to live life on your terms.

How Many Business Bank Accounts Do You Really Need? (I Use Just 2)
How many business bank accounts does a solopreneur actually need? Two, three, or even five?
When we're building a profitable one-person business, managing our money shouldn't become another full-time job. While popular strategies like Profit First recommend multiple bank accounts, a simpler approach might work just as well.
In this episode of Solopreneur Life, we're exploring five checkpoints to help us determine how many business bank accounts we really need. We'll look at how to separate business and personal finances, build a business emergency fund, create a monthly budget, and decide when additional accounts make sense.
We'll also share how Hill Media manages hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual revenue using just two business bank accounts, one checking and one savings, along with budgeting tools like Monarch Money and QuickBooks.
Whether we're just starting our solopreneur journey or looking to simplify an established business, we'll discover how to create a financial system that supports profitability, reduces stress, and helps us work toward a 20–25 hour workweek.
Because the goal isn't to have the most bank accounts. It's to build a business that supports our life, not the other way around.

Revenue is a Terrible Way to Measure Business Success
What if building a million-dollar business isn't actually the best measure of success?
As solopreneurs, we often celebrate revenue milestones, but how much of that money are we actually keeping? And more importantly, how much time, energy, and freedom are we sacrificing to earn it?
In this episode of Solopreneur Life, we challenge the idea that bigger revenue automatically means a better business. We explore four important checkpoints for measuring business success, including profitability, time freedom, lifestyle, and what we're truly optimizing for.
We'll also share how we've grown Hill Media to around $300,000 in annual revenue while intentionally moving toward a three-day, 20–25 hour workweek. Plus, we'll discuss the challenge of pursuing a million-dollar business without sacrificing the family time, health, and freedom that inspired us to become solopreneurs in the first place.
If we're building a business to create more freedom, shouldn't we measure success by more than just revenue?
