2025/05/13

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

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. The most successful freelancers aren’t the ones who make things perfect. They’re the ones who get things done efficiently - without

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

Over the last couple of years, my team and I completed over 1,600 sales calls. That kind of volume exposes what actually works in sales - and what doesn’t. The brutal truth is that many freelancers think they’re decent at sales… But they’re actually just bad at lead generation. You’re only talking to the hottest of hot referral leads - the easy layups. The real challenge? Turning strangers into clients. That’s why I put together 7 sales laws to help you close more deals, land more clients, and stop
