    #71: 👩🏼‍💼 You Don’t Need More Clients—You Need Better Ones with Enel Soeson

    In this episode of Messy on Purpose, Fylisha sits down with entrepreneur and co-founder of DANK, Enel Soeson, to break down a powerful shift most solopreneurs never hear: 👉 You don’t need more clients… you need better ones. Enel shares what he’s seen after working with hundreds of creators, coaches, and service providers across Europe and the U.S.—people who are talented, driven, and capable… but stuck in the “messy middle” of business. The phase where: You’re doing everything yourself You’re undercharging You’re overwhelmed and second-guessing And you’re not sure what the next step actually is This conversation flips the script. Instead of chasing more individual clients, Enel explains how your existing skills can be repositioned for business clients—companies that already have budgets for wellness, creativity, experiences, and team development. Same skills.Different audience.Completely different outcome. They dive into: Why solopreneurs stay stuck (and how to break it) The mindset shift from “am I good enough?” to owning your value How human-centered work is becoming more valuable in the age of AI Real examples of everyday service providers making this shift And how clarity + a simple blueprint can change everything If you’ve ever felt like you’re capable of more… but don’t know how to get there—this episode is for you. Because sometimes the problem isn’t your skillset…it’s where you’re aiming it.
