This Women\u2019s History Month, Block Advisors reflects on and honors the contributions of Women entrepreneurs and small business owners. We are proud to showcase the story of Marie Soukup, an entrepreneur from Port St. Lucie, Florida. In this conversation with Marie, we discuss the creation of <\/i>Alpine Point Collective<\/a> and its recent LLC registration. She shares how she ditched her 9-5 to chase her passion for writing, her perspectives on small business ownership, and how Block Advisors is helping her reach her small business growth goals.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does your company, Alpine Point Collective, do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alpine Point Collective is a copywriting, ghostwriting, and editing agency with one goal: elevating brand content. I’ve worked with many different industries, including cryptocurrency and human resources\u2026 a bit of everything. It’s just me for right now, but I’m looking forward to expanding soon. I started going by that name\u2014Alpine Point Collective\u2014in November 2022 after officially registering the business through Block Advisors. But I’ve been freelancing for about 2 1\/2 years now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What led you to become a freelancer initially?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Small<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The pandemic lead me to become a freelancer. I was in a poor work situation and ended up quitting in August 2020. I needed a creative outlet, and I needed a way to make money. I got to thinking about what I could do. I really love writing. I always have. I wrote my first multi-page story when I was like 6! For me, it’s been years coming, and it felt like, \u201cNow is the time to do it my way!\u201d I needed to have my own business. Having more control helps me be happy with what I’m doing. It’s going really well so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What has surprised you most since starting Alpine Point Collective?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It sounds clich\u00e9, but what surprised me most was that once you start your own business, you never really stop working. That was the most surprising for me. Except, I’m doing it not because I\u2019m forced to but because it is a labor of love. It is a lot, but I love it. I do try to have boundaries. It is one thing I’m still working on. Saying, \u201c6:00 o’clock is the cut-off time. I’m not going to answer another e-mail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What keeps you motivated on hard days? What keeps you going?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The little girl inside me from 20 years ago keeps me motivated on hard days. When I was younger, I wanted to write, I wanted to travel, and I wanted to have more opportunities. On the hard days, I may think, \u201cOK, this sucks.\u201d But then I remember that I chose this. I could be driving an hour to work in a city. But here I am instead\u2026and I am happy<\/em>. It\u2019s crucial to stay humble and remember what the other side of the fence looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who have been your biggest supporters on this entrepreneurial journey?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My biggest supporter on this entrepreneurial journey is definitely Todd, my husband. He has been kind and supportive, even on my worst days. I also come from an entrepreneurial family, and they have always been there for me. My dad is in his 70s and still working with his business. I’ve been lucky to be surrounded by people working for themselves who understand what it\u2019s like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When did you start working with Block Advisors? What has it been like doing your taxes with a Block Advisors Tax Pro?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GREAT \u2013 that is the word for it. I had been doing taxes with H&R Block for a long time. But I didn\u2019t encounter Block Advisors until I needed help with my self-employment taxes, probably a year or two ago. It’s a huge weight off your shoulders. You know everything is taken care of, and everybody’s so kind. The 100% Accuracy Guarantee gives me peace of mind. I chat with my Block Advisors Tax Pro two or three times throughout the year for check-ins and stuff. My Tax Pro gives me great answers to my questions. I never feel left in the dark on topics important to a business owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you decide to formally register Alpine Point Collective now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I decided to formally register Alpine Point Collective now because it\u2019s gotten to a point where I work all the time. It started part-time, but now things are more than full-time. My goal is to expand the business \u2013 but I can’t do it all by myself. It\u2019s time to help other people like me. If I can give them a job, it\u2019s an entrance into the world of working for yourself. When I first started, I had no idea what I was doing. I flew by the seat of my pants. Formalizing my business came from a desire to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you choose Block Advisors Business Formation to register your business?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I chose Block Advisors to help me register my business after getting a mailer one day talking about their Business Formation tool. My husband said, \u201cWe need to think of the business and what you want to do.\u201d It was getting to the point where I reached a plateau. I had to go one way or another. I decided I needed to formalize my business to become more professional. I wanted to look more legitimate to the bigger clients I wanted to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was it difficult to create your LLC with Block Advisors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It wasn’t difficult at all to create my LLC with the help of Block Advisors. I don\u2019t like paperwork. The process of filling everything out and trying to get things structured is a lot. Especially when you\u2019re trying to manage running daily business stuff and balancing family time. Working with Block Advisors was seamless and easy to use \u2013 filling out the forms took less than 10 minutes. After that, Block Advisors took care of the rest. All said, I spent much less time than I thought I would registering my business.  It was all plug-and-play. Everybody told me that creating an LLC was a huge <\/em>process. I thought, \u201cI don\u2019t want to deal with that!\u201d But Block Advisors made it so simple \u2013 it was a great value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did it feel like once you were \u201cofficial\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once the paperwork went through and I was officially an LLC, it was surreal. It felt like, \u201cOK, it’s real now. I\u2019m legit now. I can\u2019t pretend.\u201d My imposter syndrome kicked in for a minute. But it also felt awesome. It has elevated my business for sure. My husband and I celebrated by going out to dinner and seeing a movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do you continue to choose Block Advisors as your small business partner?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s an easy choice to continue using Block Advisors as my small business partner because all the things I need are in one place. Using Block Advisors Pros makes everything simple and easy. For decades, my dad used H&R Block\u2014I think he still does\u2014and he was a CPA! Every time I use Block Advisors, the people are always so nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the key to success as a small business owner?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The key to success as a small business owner is determination. A determined mindset is the number one thing a business owner needs. As a freelancer, or as any self-employed person, you need to be determined. I played hockey growing up, and sports have always been a huge influence. I learned you either do it, or you don\u2019t. You can\u2019t overthink things or remain stagnant. You must make choices.  Aspiring small business owners need to be clear about what they want. They need to know what drives them. Because when things are the most difficult, it’s your mindset and confidence that gets you through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would you say if you could time travel to give yourself advice when you started?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Alpine<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If I could time travel and know what I know now, I would tell myself to stop freaking out so much. When you first start working for yourself, everything is on your own. Nobody else is telling you what to do. It’s all on you. I put so much pressure on myself because I wanted to be perfect. Looking back, I would tell myself to just accept that I\u2019m going to make mistakes. There are going to be clients that don\u2019t work out. I’ve done several things that I think, \u201cWow \u2013 I can\u2019t believe I did that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s one of those things where we spend so much time anxious and worrying because we want to look good. Especially when starting a business \u2013 it\u2019s all about presentation and how you look. But people respect and love you when you are authentic. Saying, \u201cI\u2019m sorry I made a mistake,\u201d can make you more credible as a business owner. Clients respect you more when you take ownership of your mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where do you want to be in 5 years? What does Alpine Point Collective\u2019s future look like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In five years, I hope Alpine Point Collective is a full agency and that I\u2019ve transitioned from being a writer to focusing on ownership and mentoring my employees. It would be cool to work with a big company like Nike and do some of their marketing. I also want to help teach others writing and editing. I\u2019d love to see Alpine Point Collective become not just an agency but also an online learning center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you want your community to know about what you do? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I want to tell my community and everyone who supports me \u2013 thank you, and I love you! I work with so many clients. I am thankful for each and every one of them. To people thinking of going to work for themselves, I say \u2013 just do it! Make a plan to move away from your 9-5 job, even if it means working part-time for a while. Don\u2019t say no to your dreams if they seem impossible. If you really want something, it can be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
