About

Welcome to The Writer Entrepreneur

Hi, I’m Anna, a solopreneur, writer, and founder of The Writer Entrepreneur.

I’m doing what I love by channeling my creativity, life lessons, and passions into building online and offline businesses that support the life I actually want to live, not the one society told me I should chase.

But getting here wasn’t easy.

A Little About My Journey

I gave up my 9-to-5 for the second time in September 2014, and I haven’t looked back since.

Before that, my life was shaped by deep losses and steep challenges. After losing both my parents just three months apart, I spiraled into debt, eventually paying off over $40,000 before I could start carving a path of my own.

Grief changes you. It leaves a mark no success can fully erase. But it also pushed me to stop postponing my dreams and to rebuild on my terms.

I started writing when I was 16 years old, supported by parents who encouraged both my creativity and the “practical life plan”: go to college, get a good job, settle down.

And I tried.

I graduated, bounced between jobs, struggled through a phase as a starving writer, endured personal heartbreak that nearly cost me everything, and kept on surviving.

After a brutal year, both professionally and personally (2012–2013), I finally realized that living someone else’s version of success wasn’t living at all.

So, I got serious. I created a plan that honored my creativity and ensured I could support myself. In 2014, I launched my first business: a growing consortium of websites across different niches.

Today, I write, build, teach, and encourage others to take ownership of their time, money, passions, and dreams.
