5 Ways Solo Travel Prepared Me to Be A Startup Founder

I’ve been reflecting a lot lately…And the more I build this business, the more I realize—this journey feels so similar to solo traveling.Like… almost identical in ways I didn’t expect.The fear.The uncertainty.The figuring it out as you go.The moments where you’re like, “what am I even doing?”And then somehow… it all works out.In this episode, I’m sharing some of the biggest lessons I’ve carried from solo traveling into building HerHouse—and honestly, into every area of my life.Because the truth is…Solo travel doesn’t just give you memories.It changes how you move through the world.In this episode, I talk about:Why launching a business feels exactly like stepping on a plane aloneHow solo travel teaches you to move forward even when you’re scaredThe power of becoming someone who can “figure it out” no matter whatLearning to trust your own decisions (without needing everyone else’s input)Staying open to divine serendipity and unexpected opportunitiesWhy the best things in your life often come from saying yes before you feel readyOne of the biggest truths I’ve learned:At the end of the day… this is your journey.No one else can fully see what you see.They can’t feel what you feel.They don’t have the vision that’s been placed on your heart.And that can feel really lonely sometimes…But it’s also what makes it yours.If you’re in a season where something is pulling on you…Maybe it doesn’t make sense.Maybe other people don’t understand it.Maybe it feels a little scary.That’s okay.You don’t need everyone to understand it.You just need to trust it.A few reminders I want you to walk away with:You can do things scared.You can figure things out as you go.You can make your own decisions.You can trust what’s on your heart.And when you stay open…life will meet you in ways you never expected. Ready to Travel With Built-In Community?✨ Start with the free Solo Travel 101 workshop: >>Access Here>>🌍 Explore HerHouse with a 7-day free trial: >>Join Here>>📖 Grab Tess’s book Sherbet Skies: >>Buy Now>>Connect With TessWebsite: https://www.herhouse.co/Instagram (Tess): @tessmillhollonInstagram (HerHouse): @herhouse.coLinkedIn:@tess-millhollonTikTok:@herhouse.co
