As a small service-based business owner, I constantly find myself craving community.

When you’re working for yourself, it can often feel like it’s you against the world, which is totally understandable! As solopreneurs, we have seemingly endless to-do lists and conflicting priorities. It is often overwhelming and isolating.

Here are 10 crystals that can help you build a community of your own:
