Uplevel your business with the Freelance CEO podcast
The Freelance CEO Podcast:
“Is it possible to leverage my skills into a profitable business?”
Those years of persistence taught me how to build a design business, gave me what I needed to land my first ideal client, and led me to a thriving 6-figure business. Being a design freelancer gave me the freedom to leverage my unique skills when I learned to finally take charge with the mindset of a CEO.
With over 20 years of design experience and teaching others how to reach 6-figures in their businesses, I can show you the exact steps you can take to turn your skill into a profitable business. It’s time to get off the feast-or-famine cycle of freelancing and take charge of your business with the confidence of a CEO.
The problem is that there are so many things that go into building a design business and you don’t know where to begin. This is leaving you feeling lost, trying to figure it all out by yourself.
I believe you have what it takes to build a 6-figure design business by leveraging your design skills. I understand what it’s like to struggle as a freelancer – to undercharge for your services, to spend too much time on projects, and be stressed out when work isn’t coming in.
This is why I started Freelance CEO. With over 20 years of design experience and teaching others how to reach 6-figures in their businesses, I can help you navigate the exact steps you can take to turn your skill into a profitable business.
Here’s how it works:
- Join the Community: You’ll learn to build a profitable business by leveraging your unique skills within a network of other designers.
- Find Direction: You’ll know exactly how to grow your business with a trusted guide leading the way.
- Become the CEO: Own your future by leaving the struggles of freelancing behind.
Join the Freelance CEO community so that you can stop flying solo and start on your journey to 6-figures by leveraging your unique design skills.
