Scott is a very sharp guy who can articulate his thoughts clearly and coach at a level that was useful for me. I've already learned a ton from him & continue to learn as he has the ability to challenge his mentees in a manner that is both easy to understand & accept.

Scott has been an inspiration, he's a great teacher and I have learned so much from him. He's a freelancing genius and has mastered the act of skill selling. If you're just starting as a freelancer and need a mentor, I would highly recommend Scott.

Here is a 1 Hour Coaching Session session I recently did with Paul O., from Nigeria, Africa who is currently earning $150,000/year on Upwork as a WordPress Website Designer and Website Developer:

I'm here to help you succeed with your freelancing career.

1 on 1 freelance coaching or do-it-yourself online learning.

Why do I need a freelance business coach?

You want to stop struggling every step of the way through your freelance career and want to get to the point where you can work on your terms, from anywhere, and have complete control over the amount you earn.

We have all seen the LinkedIn posts "I was one of the hundreds recently fired from my job." It's sad when I read this because there is an alternative to the anxiety and despair of constantly worrying about your career. You joined a business for "job security," and you have had to endure the abuse and always wonder when it will come crashing down.


What if there was a better way? A way to build a freelance foundation that was rock solid, so you never worry about being fired again. Good news, there is, and although it is hard work, it is achievable if you work on a computer.


I have been a freelancer since 2001 and have worked in advertising agencies and global brands for over 15 years. I have never worried about job security in my freelance career. The simple fact with freelance is that my goal when coaching you is that you will carry an average of 25 clients each year.


With this amount of freelance clients, even if one decides they no longer need your assistance, they are easy to replace and won't make much of a dent on your bottom line. With this amount of business diversity, you will never worry again about losing your job to a decision entirely out of your control.

Feeling a loss for words when it's time to send a proposal?

Crafting the perfect pitch to get the freelance project is an art.

How do I write a freelance proposal?

Whether you are sending a freelance pitch on Upwork, LinkedIn, or by cold-email, writing a perfect pitch to get the freelance project you want is criticial.

I have been working on this freelance proposal template for over twenty years. Skip ahead a couple of decades and figure out how I convert 30-40% of my proposals into paid projects and leap over your freelance competition.


With over $400,000 earned on Upwork in 3 years and an independent freelancer averaging $25,000/month, I know how to build a successful freelance business. I'm not too afraid to admit that this is only one piece of the puzzle of how to make a living as a freelancer. With this freelance proposal template, I teach you how to write your freelance pitch to turn that click into a conversion.


As a freelancer on Upwork, and a client, I see both sides of the equation and have designed this proposal template to help you get hired for the next project. By using a traditional marketing technique combining Upper, Middle, and Lower funnel marketing writing, this proposal template will help you qualify clients before the initial contact. This writing format ensures that you are not attracting tire-kickers but clients ready to start.

The best book to learn how to freelance. Period.

There is a lot of fluff out there with freelance learning books. "Hustle hard," "Don't quit," ya I know, they're awful and get you exactly nowhere with vague one-liners. These books don't even qualify as reasonable advice for anyone wanting a professional career in freelance. So I decided to write a book I would give my sons when they want to learn how I do it.

This Freelance Shortcut book is broken down into the ten essential steps to building your freelance career from the ground up, or even level up an already successful freelance business:


Step 1: Path - How to build your daily system


The first step in this freelance success guide is all about designing a daily system you can use which helps you develop everything from new jobs, new business, showing off your talent, and developing the marketing materials you need for success as a freelancer.

• How do I structure my daily system?
• What is the best format for my daily system?
• Daily system template
Assignment: Create your daily system

Step 2: Profiles - How to build your freelance profiles


The second step is all about bringing clients to you, by writing effective profiles which can be used on all of the various freelance platforms for developing new business. Although my lessons in this guide are focussed on LinkedIn and Upwork, these strategies have worked over the past two decades in the ever-changing freelance marketplace.

• Why do I need a personal profile?
• How do I write my profile?
