Which misfit persona are you?

Name your pain—Tame your pain

Pick the tile that stings most—
you’ll instantly know your growth path.

You’re smart, scrappy, and doing something meaningful—but parts of it feel harder than they should. Maybe your voice isn’t landing. Maybe your systems are bursting at the seams. Maybe you're burnt out from doing too much—or paralyzed from doing too little.

Whatever the case, the problem isn’t you. It’s that no one ever showed you how to build your business your way, using tools that fit how your brain works. This page is here to help you name what’s been off—and find your way forward.

The Unseen Pioneer

Brilliant work buried under muddled messaging

You’re doing meaningful work—but it’s not cutting through. People don’t seem to get it, or they scroll right past. It’s not that you’re invisible—it’s that your message hasn’t caught up to your value yet. And that disconnect is starting to wear on you.

The Chaos Wrangler

Too many moving parts, not enough clarity or calm

You’re running a business that feels more like a cyclone. Too many moving parts, not enough breathing room. You’re handling everything yourself, but it’s not sustainable—and every time you try to pause and fix the mess, something urgent pulls you back in.

The Tool Skeptic

Wary of tech that overpromises and underdelivers.

You’ve tried the tools. You’ve watched the demos. But somewhere between the hype and the headaches, you lost trust. You want solutions that actually lighten your load—not add more tabs to manage. And you’re not here to beta test someone else’s big idea.

The Shy Seller

Big value, small voice when it’s time to sell

You love what you offer—but when it’s time to talk money or close a deal, things get awkward. Maybe you downplay your rates. Maybe you end up working with people who aren’t the right fit. Either way, selling doesn’t feel like something you’re good at—or want to get good at.

The Doubting Dreamer

Haunted by what-ifs and past stumbles

You know you’re capable of more—but doubt keeps creeping in. Maybe you’re still stung from a flop. Maybe you’re stuck comparing yourself to people who look way more put-together. Either way, it’s hard to move forward when part of you keeps wondering if you belong here at all.

The Niche Nomad

Always evolving, but unsure where to plant roots

You’ve changed directions a few times—and you’re probably great at a lot of things. But when it comes to describing what you do, or who it’s for, the answer keeps shifting. You want to commit to something—but not at the cost of your curiosity or range.

The Timid Launcher

Built something powerful—but scared to let it fly

You’ve built something good—maybe even brilliant—but you’re stalling at the starting line. Maybe it’s fear of failure. Maybe it’s fear of being seen. Either way, the launch keeps getting pushed, the scale stays small, and you keep telling yourself “soon.”

The Weary Connector

Longing for community without the emotional drain

You’re tired of feeling alone—or worse, drained by the people around you. You want meaningful collaborations, healthy client relationships, and a support system that doesn’t leave you exhausted. But right now, it feels like too much effort just to stay connected.
