Quick heads up about the Freelancer Playbook
|
Hi Reader When I first released the 30-Day Freelancer Launch Playbook a few months ago, I priced it at $9 to make it accessible and to get feedback from early users. Since then, I’ve decided to increase the price to $29, starting on Monday, March 9th. The good news is that you can still grab it for $9 until then. The playbook is a short, practical guide designed to help you take real steps toward launching a freelance business in the next 30 days. Inside, you'll find: • A simple 4-week roadmap for getting your freelance business off the ground The goal is simple: to help you move from thinking about freelancing to taking real action. If you've been considering starting a freelance side hustle, this will give you a clear place to start. You can grab the playbook here for $9 before the price increases:
After this coming Sunday, March 8th, the price will increase to $29. I hope it helps you take the first step! 💛 |

Yesterday afternoon, while I was working away, I started getting messages from complete strangers on LinkedIn and other social media platforms. Most of them started with something like: “Hey, I just read an article about how you turned your side hustle into a full-time business and quit your job...” At first, I had no idea why I was suddenly getting all these messages. Then I realized my 9-5 exit story had just been published by the U.S. edition of the Daily Mail and picked up by MSN as well....
When I was still at my 9-5, I felt like my time was completely controlled by someone else. Conference calls, emails, constant interruptions… by the time I got home, I felt too drained to do anything else. So I’d check out for the night and promise myself I’d start working on my side hustle tomorrow. Sound familiar? At the time, I believed that I didn’t have a choice… that my mental exhaustion was just the reality of the job. But looking back, that wasn’t entirely true. I didn’t have full...
