If you’re building a business on your own and finding it harder than you expected to stay on track, you’re not imagining it. Early entrepreneurship asks more of you than most people realise — not just in skill or effort, but in how you think, decide, and keep going when things don’t go to plan. I’m Georgina Joy Read. Each week I write No Clucks Given, a short journal for solo entrepreneurs who have already started and are learning — often the hard way — that the business grows only as much as they do. I write about the inner Work of entrepreneurship: the moments of doubt, the habits we fall back on under pressure, the ways we avoid or overcomplicate, and the capacity required to keep showing up. I use examples from my own business as I build it — what’s working, what isn’t, and what I’m noticing about myself as the business asks more of me. This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about learning how to get yourself back on track — again and again — so the effort you’re already putting in can compound. Join me. Cluck yes.

No Clucks Given Newsletter The 22nd Edition - Pause. Hi Reader Our website has just been updated, and right there on the first page we added one word: Pause. It feels important to state it. If you’re anything like me, energy is rarely the problem. Ideas come quickly. Direction feels available. There’s always another move to make, another path to try, another improvement to act on. And yet, I keep noticing how often momentum is lost not through inaction, but through too much motion. Each new...
By Georgina Joy Read No Clucks Given Journal The Work No One Sees Hi Reader Tell me about your future. Who will you become? Master Entrepreneurship (pg 12) This question always stays with me. It doesn’t point to what you will have, it points to who you will be. I thought of it again recently while watching Alex Honnold free solo climb Taipei 101. Did you watch the climb?
