Solopreneurs Can Scale: What I Learned from Closing $100K in 50 Days with Cindy Skalicky

This is not a “look at me and what I did” talk. No, this is just a story to share and that might inspire. I started On Point Communications 100% unintentionally in 2015 after no one would hire me for a part time gig. I almost closed up shop in the pandemic, and interviewed at numerous companies, including OtterBox. In the end I did not quit, I soldiered on, with my 4 college-bound kids at the heart of that drive.

When I hit this Q3 milestone, it was a total shock to me, and frankly, unplanned. I had no post-it notes or goals sheets with this number in mind. I had not calculated the deal sizes I’d need to get here, nor felt stress to do it in 50 days. It just happened.

When it did happen, I couldn’t help but think about it deeply – in my over-analytical way – and try to trace back the breadcrumbs. What led to this milestone? Can I keep this trend going? What lessons does it teach me about entrepreneurship? About running a business? About the direction I’m headed?

Come join this conversation with me. Just bring yourself and your dreams for your business. I’m going to tell a story. I’ll also hit on 3 of the big pieces I see that led me to this milestone, and what I’m doing to try to keep the trend alive. I suspect during the Q/A and discussion for this session, I will learn as much from you and your insights, as you from me. Can’t wait to see you there!
