Hey, I’m CT! I’m the creator behind The Mindful Soulpreneur (SPX). I’m passionate about SOLOpreneurship and even more so about SOULpreneurship. Here’s an article that explains the difference beteween the two >

I believe I was called to help solopreneurs like you find balance, purpose, and fulfillment in your work and life.

Having navigated this journey for almost a decade—running both my web design business, CTKLLC, and creating my personal brand, ctkaupp.com—I understand the unique challenges and joys that come with it.

My goal is to support and inspire you to build a business that feels authentic and aligned with who you are while also nurturing what truly matters to you.

Remember, as Steve Jobs once said, “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”

We only get one shot at this life, so let’s make it the best we can.

The Mindful Soulpreneur was born from a simple problem: I’m a solo business owner who deeply enjoys my work—feeling a deep calling and fulfillment in that pursuit—yet often feels alone, like no one really “gets it” or “gets me.” I knew I wasn’t the only solo business owner out there, so I thought, “Why don’t I create a space for us unicorns?” 😆

It’s about so much more than business metrics or numbers on a QuickBooks report—it’s about blending your passion, craft, and lifestyle in a way that feels totally in sync—not to your family, or your best friend, or some social media algorithm, but to YOU. Your business should not only support your life but also make it that much richer.

Otherwise, if you didn’t feel that way, you’d just get a “day job” and work for someone else (helping to build their dreams), right?

We currently publish content through blog posts on this site, with our podcast set to launch on November 1st. We also offer a personalized coaching program called The Fulfillment Framework. Our plan is to expand into events and retreats in 2025-26.

We exist to build a movement where solopreneurs can connect, grow, and thrive together.

As you dive into our content and coaching, my hope is that you find tips and insights to better understand yourself and, in turn, grow and improve your business in a way that aligns more closely with your life’s purpose. I want to give you the confidence and clarity to boldly move forward.

You got this—let’s do it!
