Raw-Dogging Your Freelance Business: When Vibes Don't Pay Rent

If you're done guessing your way through freelancing, check out this resource.

In my first year of freelancing, like many, I relied on cold DMs, Upwork, and lacked a solid plan, which didn’t help pay the rent. In this insightful video, I outline how I transitioned from being overwhelmed and underpaid to establishing a multi–6 figure freelance business. Discover the mindset shifts, strategy, and structure that led me to success.

If you are still unsure about what to sell, how to package your skills, or why your client flow seems erratic, this video will clarify everything you've been missing. Remember, raw-dogging your freelance biz might seem brave, but it's not a sustainable business model. I'm here to help you truly go get paid.
