‘being a solopreneur has forced me to learn how to handle all aspects of business’

As a solopreneur or working with a team spread all over the world - you can also add the "Digital Nomad" title to your business card. There the digital tools allows you to work from any place and there you might have automated a large number of your business processes - giving you a chance to also just work when you want to.

Are you planning to start a new business or restart your existing one?

In some ways it can be easier to start a new business based on the idea of Digital Entrepreneurship - there are no changes required - just set up a new business environment that supports your digital business model. Restarting and implementing the digital tools step by step can be more difficult since you need to take care of the existing business and the customers and other relations you have worked so hard to reach. In that case you need to create a "step-by-step" digitization plan to secure the change. Depending on if you are a solopreneur or have employees you also need to involve your staff or partners in the process. Maybe you need to replace staff/partners to get the required competences into your business - or maybe start a training process in parallel with the change.
Whatever it takes - you need to analyze the situation and start moving in the direction of a digitally supported or digitally based business.
