Getting Off Isolation Island

Spotlight on Success Show – Episode #20

Today on my show I had the pleasure of a speaking with Jen Lilienstein, Founder of Kidzmet.com, who shared her best strategies for how solo entrepreneurs can avoid feeling as though they are in isolation working alone with specific strategies on how to reach out on and offline in their networking.

Starting out as a solopreneur herself, Jen knows how easy it can be to get caught up in the solo mode to the exclusion of building relationships beyond the four walls of your office. In this interview I ask Jen –

  • What is “Island Time” and how do women get stuck there?
  • How can solo entrepreneurs get off island time by connecting with the outside world?
  • What strategies can women use to build relationships in the online world?
  • And, what are the essential survival tips for women who moonlight to start a business?

For more information on Jen’s Kidzmet programs please visit her website.  Enjoy!


Thank you Jen for sharing your best tips on how solo entrepreneurs can stay connected even working alone.
