The RP Journey – Your Path, Powered by the RP Engine

Every Entrepreneur Is on Their Own Hero’s Journey

Think of almost any story you love — Star Wars, The Karate Kid, Nemo, Gladiator, Dune. They all trace the same arc Joseph Campbell called The Hero’s Journey: a call to adventure, moments of courage, doubts that creep in, setbacks that tempt retreat, and breakthroughs that change everything.

Entrepreneurship is no different. One day you’re brave enough to launch, the next you’re staring down fear, wondering if you can really do it. Then courage returns, stronger this time, because you’ve grown. That cycle – courage to fear (I can do it followed by I can’t do it) and back again – is the universal rhythm of building something from nothing.

And you don’t have to walk it alone.

Renew Prosper as Your Guide, Not the Hero

In every story, the hero has help. Luke had Yoda. Daniel had Mr. Miyagi. Nemo had Dory. Even Maximus in Gladiator had a loyal strategist watching his back.

We don’t see ourselves as the hero of your business journey – you are the hero. Our role is to walk alongside you, sometimes as strategist, sometimes as coach, sometimes simply as a shoulder to lean on. Always helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and hope.

The RP Journey: 10 Steps to Growth

To make the path clear, we mapped out what we call The RP Journey™ — a 10-step process that captures the natural flow of how solopreneurs grow. Each step has its place, but the order is not rigid. You may enter at one step, circle back to another, or cycle through multiple times. That flexibility is by design.

1. Focal Point – Problem or Opportunity
Every journey starts with awareness. You notice a problem holding you back or an opportunity worth exploring. This is where momentum begins.

2. Blog / YouTube – Explanation
Once you have a sense of an issue, it becomes a focal point. You want to understand it better. A short article or video gives shape to the topic, turning vague frustration or curiosity into clarity.

3. Assessments* – Relevance
Awareness turns into action when you measure yourself against the issue. An assessment helps you see where you stand, whether you’re ahead, behind, or right on track.

4. Prompts* – Clarity through reflection
Once you see yourself in the picture, prompts guide you deeper. They spark new perspectives, reveal blind spots, and surface ideas you hadn’t considered.

5. Strategy* – Roadmap or direction
Reflection leads to a plan. Based on your insights, you map a path forward that fits your circumstances — not a cookie-cutter prescription, but a direction tailored to you.

6. Courses / Digital Downloads – Self learning
If you prefer to tackle things solo, self-learning resources like courses or downloads give you structure and tools to move forward at your own rhythm.

7. Coaching – Guided learning
Some challenges call for accountability and real-time feedback. Coaching offers a companion on the path, helping you shorten your learning curve and avoid avoidable mistakes.

8. Mentorship – Personalized learning
When transformation requires more than tactics, mentorship provides long-term guidance. It’s less about quick wins and more about shaping your thinking, leadership, and growth.

9. Ask Me Anything (AMA) / Office Hours – Group learning / Community
Entrepreneurship is lonely, but it doesn’t have to be. Live sessions connect you with others walking the same road, letting you learn from their questions and share the journey.

10. Books – Deep learning
When you're ready to step back and see the whole map, The Solo MBA™ book (currently being written) will anchor it all. It’s where the frameworks will live in full, so you can revisit them at your own pace. It will be the perfect complement to our Book Club, a curated list of current and timeless books, which we've cross-referenced by recurring entrepreneurial themes.

The RP Engine: The Heartbeat Inside the Journey

At the center of the Journey is what we call the RP Engine; see steps 3-5 noted above.*

The Engine is a repeating cycle of:

Assessment → Prompts → Strategy

This is the heartbeat of the system, the part you return to again and again as your challenges and opportunities evolve.

Every time you encounter a new focal point, the Engine helps you move from vague awareness to clarity to an actionable roadmap. Then, depending on your needs, you step back into the larger Journey — maybe toward a DIY course, maybe into coaching, maybe simply to reflect before looping again. Learn more about the RP Engine™.

Why This Is Not One-Size-Fits-All

In building Renew Prosper, we identified 39 themes across 144 focal points (problems and opportunities), each are part of our 8 Pillars of solopreneur success.

Mindset • Business • Marketing • Sales • Systems • Leadership • Money • Health

Why do these recurring themes and focal points matter? Because every solopreneur is at a different place in their journey. There’s no single solution.

One person may need help with marketing and generating new leads, another may need mindset strategies to build confidence, and a third may need systems to free up time. 

Our role is to meet you where you are, step into the conversation already happening inside your head, and gently offer a menu of tools, prompts, and coaching options to help you lean into good opportunities and backstop critical weaknesses. 

That way, you can grow with clarity and confidence, instead of spinning your wheels alone. 

Your Three Choices at Every Step

At the end of each Engine cycle, you’ll have a choice about how to proceed:

1. Do you want a DIY next step? → Courses, downloads, books.

2. Do you want personal help? → Coaching, mentorship.

3. Do you want a done-for-you solution? → Custom services.

There’s no wrong answer, only the next right step for you.

To Summarize

The RP Journey is not a straight line. It’s more like a constellation — different entry points, different paths, all connected by a larger pattern. This allows business owners to select an issue that is top of mind today, solve it, and skip everything else. People do not want to navigate an IKEA maze, they just want what they want with minimal friction.

Something else we're proud of: our wide product and service offering. Because you and your learning style are unique.

Do you prefer learning by reading (visual), listening (auditory), or watching videos at 1.5x speed? Or, do you prefer learning by doing (experiential), maybe as part of a group (community)?

What's right is what's right for you. And what fits today may change as you grow and evolve as an entrepreneur or a business owner looking to sell and exit. At Renew Prosper, you'll find choices no matter how you're wired. That is by design.

A Personal Note

I’ve had my own share of victories and bruises as an entrepreneur. What fuels me now is helping others crash less and succeed more by using a tool that simply didn’t exist when I started. Of course I'm referring to artificial intelligence (AI). It is not magic, but when combined with a structured journey, it can shorten the learning curve and accelerate our progress in ways we could not dream of a decade ago... or even two years ago!
