2025/07/08

You know that meme…Charlie Day, crazed look, wall of string, pointing at chaos? That’s the typical freelancer trying to make a decision. A simple pricing change? You’re mapping out lifetime value, market benchmarks, “CFO-level cost abstractions” (whatever the hell that means). Meanwhile, someone else just ran a quick test, got a client, and moved on. While one person’s “trying to decide on a niche”… Another one has tested 5 different offers and actually figured out what will sell. If you’ve

Just one nightmare client can ruin your business.One soul-sucking, scope-creeping, micromanaging clown who drains your time, sanity, and confidence. And the frustrating thing is, you probably felt the red flags on that first call (and ignored them)… Thinking, “it’ll be fine”… “I’m probably overreacting…” “I can manage them, they really do need my help”… And my favorite: “It’s good money.” So you said yes (even though your gut said no). And now they’re making your life miserable. The

Ever hop on a discovery call…Only to find out they "might" be ready in 6 months, have no budget, and just want free advice? Not only did you get your hopes up, you ALSO just wasted your time. Yeah, it sucks - and today we’re going to fix it. Way back in the 1960’s, IBM developed a pretty cool framework called BANT to weed out bad leads… And in this episode, I’ve adapted it for freelance businesses. This 4-question system will help you spot bad leads before you ever get on a call: You’ll

2025/06/17

You know those big dumb idiots in high school that pull the fire alarm? Yeah, that was me.Turns out I was just practicing for my freelance career. Because most freelancers treat marketing exactly like that fire alarm - you only pull it when everything's already on fire. When the clients have dried up, the leads have dried up, and you're in full-blown panic mode. Then things get busy again, the money starts flowing again, and something in your brain says, “We’re good, we don’t need to do this

”Oh look — Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Because what this $5,000 problem really needed was a damn menu.”When you offer three-tiered pricing because “that’s how pricing psychology works, right?”… All you’re doing is giving your best clients more questions, more confusion, and a way to spend less money. You’re not a SaaS. You’re not a wedding cake. And tiered pricing? That's just ONE of six "big, dumb stupid idiot" pricing mistakes in this week's podcast episode. Step into the “Pricing

Hey quick gut check: Is your portfolio a "highlight reel" or a "dumping ground"?If it’s the latter, you’re making the same mistake most freelancers make. You’re trying to be the Cheesecake Factory, with its 21-page menu with 250+ items on it. Your thought process is "there's something for everyone". And yet… no one knows what you’re actually great at. In this episode of the 6 Figure Creative Podcast, I call this out for what it is: The Portfolio Paradox: the more work you show, the fewer

Ever been to a spa?You get a menu with 12 fancy options… and no idea which one you actually need. Do you need the Ocean Quartz Detox Wrap for $149 or the Rejuvenating Himalayan Sound Bath Experience for $399? You have no idea. Now imagine you're about to spend $5K to $10K (or more), and you’re handed the same kind of “pick-your-own-adventure” PDF. This is exactly what I've seen freelancers do in their sales process, and it's losing you clients you should’ve closed. In this

Most freelancers aren’t selling to strangers.They’re stuck relying on referrals and word-of-mouth… So they never realize how fragile their business actually is. Because when that word-of-mouth dries up and you finally try to reach outside your cozy little network? Suddenly the “no’s” and ghosting start piling up. And it’s not because your work isn’t good. It’s not because your prices are too high. It’s because you’re asking people to take a leap… With no parachute. This week’s

One of my clients has the dream setup:A solid YouTube following Tens of thousands of people visiting his site every month A clean, self-checkout flow for his freelance services Sounds awesome, right? But when we looked under the hood… He was making just $0.23 per visitor. Twenty. Three. Cents. Let that sink in. That’s LESS than $5k/month from 20,000 website visitors. I nearly threw my laptop. That same traffic, with a real sales process? Could be worth $20k… even

As you scale past $100k as a creative freelancer, something starts to break:YOU become the bottleneck. You’re managing every email. Sending every invoice. Doing every project from scratch.

At first, every new lead feels like a win.(Finally, people want to work with me!) But if you actually want to break into multi-six figures? You need to say "no" more than ever.

Every freelancer knows the feeling…One week, you’re slammed with work. The next? Crickets. And in those quiet weeks, you’re either putting out fires or you panic and slash your rates to get anything booked. But here’s the truth: Those “lulls” are the reason you’re stuck under $200k. Not your talent. Not your pricing. Not the economy. If you want to consistently hit multi-six figures, you need what I call a Demand Engine — a 4-part system that keeps your inbox full and your calendar

If you're trying to break into multi-six figures as a freelancer, this might sound familiar:You're good at what you do. You’ve got clients. You’ve raised your rates. But somehow… you’re still stuck around $100k–$150k. The problem? It’s not your pricing. It’s not your marketing. It’s that your service isn’t built to scale.

Most freelancers plateau at $50K.You start by getting a few clients Those clients turn into a few more referrals You get just enough referrals to hover in the $50k plateau Some break six figures "by accident". Same thing as $50k, but you just stay a bit busier (usually because you have a larger network or are in a better niche). But multi six-figures? No one stumbles in a $300k+ per year freelance business. That takes a whole new approach. In this new podcast series, I’m breaking down what

Let’s say you hired a personal trainer with the goal of "getting into shape"…But instead of coaching you, they literally did the workouts for you. They ran the miles. They lifted the weights. They meal-prepped and tracked every calorie. Meanwhile, you’re on the sofa binging White Lotus... and somehow you get in the best shape of your life. That would break the entire fitness industry.

Creatives LOVE making things "perfect".We obsess over the tiny details, tweak endlessly, and burn hours and hours and hours... and hours trying to craft the "perfect" final product for our clients. But here’s what sucks: Perfectionism is keeping you broke. Spending 40 hours on something that should take 8? That’s the difference between making $92/hr and $462/hr.

Most freelancers think success comes from being great at their craft.It doesn’t. I’ve seen average freelancers with solid marketing dominate their industry while insanely talented ones struggle to get clients. Being the best doesn’t matter if no one knows you exist. I’ve also watched freelancers waste hours crafting detailed proposals, only to get ghosted. Proposals don’t close deals - real conversations do. If you’re hiding behind a PDF, you’re losing before you even start. That “stable” 9-to-5
