Are you looking to embark on your freelancing journey?

Learn the top 10 tactics all new freelancers and consultants must do so that you can survive, thrive, and make bank ... even if you've never done it before.

Did you know that on average 80% of new freelancers and consultants fail within the first two years? It's true. Some even end up owing the IRS tens of thousands of dollars! It's true ...

What?

Here's the problem you face: most new freelancers and consultants don't know how to get health insurance, bill at the proper rate, maintain client relationships, manage cash flow or even save for taxes ... and so much more.

This means that instead of making a ton of money in freelancing and consulting and having a great autonomous life their business fails and they're riddled with medical bills, IRS tax debt, and often divorce as a side effect.

In this short guide, you'll get ...
  • A simple to use hourly rate formula so you can calculate a profitable rate which means you can you'll never worry about making enough to cover health insurance, taxes, expenses, and more.
  • An evergreen source of consulting engagements so you can ensure you're never without a client which means you'll always be making bank.
  • An easy to follow marketing schedule so you can place yourself in high demand in your industry which means you'll rarely have to search for clients.
  • A guide on how to find health insurance at an affordable rate so you can transition to full time consulting sooner which means more autonomy and freedom with less stress.
  • Cash flow management strategies so you can ensure you have enough to weather the lean times in consulting which means you'll be able to survive the inevitable consulting famine and grow your business.
  • A fractional billing increment system so you can place value on chunks of your time which means you'll never lose money for billing a fractional hour.
These tactics are a simple set of rules that will lead you to a life of freedom and autonomy.

I've created these tactics so you can easily follow them to attain the lifestyle you've been dreaming of which means you'll no dread Monday mornings because you'll have your autonomy.

I know how this feels first hand. I've been consulting for over 15 years. You may be familiar with some of my clients:

  • American Express
  • Yale University
  • Google
  • Facebook
  • MongoDB
  • Groupon
  • MyFitnessPal
  • Eventbrite
  • Dreamworks
  • ... and countless more

From startups to Fortune 500 companies, I've consulted at them all.

You'll learn how to follow the simple steps in this guide so you can experience great success in freelancing (and consulting) even if you've never done it before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Advice I keep going back to!
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2021
This book is invaluable for freelancers. While Donn's background is in software development, the principles he applies are good for everyone, so if you're not a dev, don't be put off by his career experience! It's an easy read but absolutely packed with valuable advice. I find myself making mistakes and then when I wonder why it's so painful, realize it's because I'm not following Donn's advice! Check this out, you'll learn a lot and if you follow the advice, you'll actually make way more money.

I'm not a freelancer but this book gave me good tips as a starting point. I love the author's podcast (Fragmented podcast) and as expected, this book has the same high quality content
