It took me four years to make my first $100,000 as a freelance creative. I almost gave up. But the freedom was addictive. I NEEDED this to work.

So I figured it out to a tune of over seven figures (in profit) during my 10-year creative business career. Despite my struggles over the first four years, I created a profitable freelance career.

These numbers are not about the $$$ signs. Those dollar signs represent the freedom having a successful freelance business has given my family and me.

Freelancing has empowered me to:

  • Travel the country full-time as a digital nomad (and doing it again with my family!)
  • Eat lunch most weekdays with my kids.
  • Provide care when my son had open heart surgery and needed to be home.
  • Make life decisions based on energy and what I currently want from life (not what a company needs from me).

This is possible, and I want it for you too! Your version of this list might differ significantly from mine, but the idea is the same. The freedom to control your own destiny.

Over 90% of this income was from providing services. I didn’t create a product or a course, or a community. I provided a service that people needed and made a living doing it, I know you can do this too.

You already have the skills. You need a roadmap to get there.

Everyone’s journey is different, and I do not have all the answers. But I have the lessons I have learned along the way, and I want to share those with you.

So hop on the Nerd Notes newsletter and start your journey towards income independence!
