Scott Perry tells solopreneurs to start by defining the lifestyle they want their business to fund. Think through concrete details: when you wake up, where you work, what you do each day, who you talk to. The clearer your vision of an ideal day, the better you can build a business that actually fits it.

The first step is you have to clarify your lifestyle goal. We all became solopreneurs because, yes, we want to make a difference, but we also want to make a living, and we want to design a business around the ideal lifestyle that we would like to be living. And so you have to know what that ideal lifestyle is. If you want your business to fund and fit around your lifestyle, you must define that ideal lifestyle. So the question is, what does your ideal day look like? And what I want you to think about is when do you wake up? Where do you work? How do you spend your time during the course of an entire day? Who do you spend your time with? Define all those things. The more specificity that you have about this, the more clear it will be in terms of where you're heading.
