The Hatch and Hustle™
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.
