Freelancing is a crazy thing to do

Not only are you doing the work you get hired to do, but you are also a full-stack human. You are the marketer, accountant, sales director, accounts receivable department, research analyst, and CEO.

Most freelancers optimize for staying busy instead of designing a path they actually want to be on over the long term.

Do you struggle with these questions?

#1 How to raise rates?

Grinding on the same work at the same rate is a recipe for burnout. Raising your rates is about more than money. It is about raising your ambitions and creating room to evolve.

#2 When to send proposals?

Most consultants send proposals too soon. First scope a problem you actually want to work on and get buy-in before signing.

#3 How to deliver value to clients?

Too many freelancers dump detail. Long-term trust comes from putting yourself in the client's shoes and guiding decisions.

My belief: the only sustainable strategy is to play the long game

The only sustainable path for a freelance consultant is finding work you are excited to keep doing.

The way to find that work is not taking every project. It is developing core skills, shaping projects you want, and building trust-based client relationships.

I want to help you:

Build relationships, not decks

Build trust by collaborating on-site when needed, speaking the client's language, and aligning early.

Solve problems, not dump data

Avoid the book-report trap and guide clients through a process that helps them act.

Learn what it takes to sell a $20,000 project

Fixed-fee work is confidence, scope design, and willingness to walk away, not just raising hourly rates.

I walk you through actual proposals from my work

How many calls should you have before sending a proposal? How do you ask for feedback? What format should you send? What is a normal timeline from first conversation to signed contract?
