Embrace Your
Badassery:

Creative freelancers and solopreneurs (writers, designers, photographers, etc.) … and rebels in other industries who don’t do the cookie-cutter route.

25+ years full-time freelancing without going back to a full-time job. And I continue to freelance to this day.

I worked on both the agency and corporate sides before finding my love for freelancing. And since, I’ve built, shattered, rebuilt, and thrived.

Here, you’ll find no BS. No false promises. Just real strategies.

Also, you’ll find a safe space. No matter your race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), sex, gender / identity / expression, sexual orientation, ability, background, etc. … if you’re neurodivergent, have mental health challenges or are dealing with personal issues … this is a no-judgement zone. People of all walks of life are welcome here. (Well, except if you’re a bigot of any kind. That’s not welcome here.)

And everything you tell me is—and will be—kept confidential.

Lastly, my network runs extremely deep. If I don’t have the answer to a question you have, I probably know someone who does.

• Finding (& keeping!) clients

• Pricing your services to ensure you get paid your worth

• Dealing with the feast or famine income cycle

• Setting up your business: legal, taxes, & insurance

• Creating templates: estimate, invoice, & contract

• Defining packages, bundles, & up-sells

• Clarifying a niche

• Defining your target audience

• Putting together an awesome portfolio

• Creating a killer brand, marketing & self-promotion

• Writing a business plan & marketing plan

• Building a sales funnel that converts (re: lead gen)

• Improving your website

• Rocking a new / improved social media strategy

• Diversifying your income & creating passive income

• Getting you paid … and on time!

• Dealing with difficult / challenging clients

• Sharing software tools & apps to help make your life easier

It's up to you … and what works best with your schedule and budget. Choose to meet weekly, bi-monthly, monthly, or even quarterly … some sort of rhythm to ensure you keep the momentum. Because life gets busy, you’ll be asked to schedule all your sessions up front. A standing appointment also helps with accountability! If you ever need to reschedule a session, not to worry. You can certainly do so.

My availability varies, but you can typically book me M-F, 9 am - 5 pm Central. I do offer evening appointments on Wednesday evenings for those who need to meet after a full-time job. If that particular evening doesn’t work for you, just let me know.

While it is an investment, it’s probably less than you think. At least around here, anyway. Because I’ve been in your shoes, I try really hard to keep things affordable. Each option is customized to each client’s specific needs and situation. Discounts are offered for those who pay upfront. Quantity discounts and payment plans are also available.

Insider Tip: If you do the work, you’re more likely to make positive changes in your freelance business much faster than if you were to go at it alone … and recoup the money you make on this investment!

Question is: How can you not?

Listen, I get it. I was once in your shoes, too. And then I learned the tough lesson of, “You’ve got to spend money to make money.” There’s so much truth to that.

But anything that can better your business is going to be a lifesaver.

If you want to get ahead, you’ve got to invest in yourself. Treat your business like a business. And find the money to do the things you want to do.

Yes. Call it homework, action items, a to-do list. We just gotta. Because there’s no way we could possibly cover everything during our sessions, you’ll be asked to work on a handful of items between calls. This could be anything from working on your branding and determining your packages to writing a business plan. Keep this in mind when you schedule your sessions upfront to ensure you have ample time in between to get the homework done.

Yes! Each session is recorded on the cloud and sent to you after each meeting. You can download these to your desktop to keep them for future access.

That’s a great question! Here are 7 ways to get the most impact out of your freelance coaching investment.

Unfortunately not. And—hate to break it to you: anyone who promises you guaranteed results is blowing smoke up your backside.

Why? Because there is no magic fix.

What I can guarantee, however, is that I’ll show up each and every time ready to support you and help you achieve your goals. I guarantee that I will stretch you, challenge you, and empower you … plus, give homework, and offer practical ways to level up your freelance business.

Coaching is a process that each individual is personally responsible for. I can’t make you do anything. Yet, I can help guide the way. I can be your educator, motivator, cheerleader and accountability buddy.

If you show up ready to do the work, you’ll have the best chance of success.

Absolutely! I can help with your copywriting, social media, and / or branding needs. I’ve been known to write a few business and marketing plans before, too.

Need design, development, photography, a VA or an attorney? I have an extensive network of resource partners, such as those in The Freelance Exchange, to help you with just that.
