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!
