Course overview

Create the life you want by doing impactful work that you love.

I’ll show you how to break free from the 9-to-5 grind and build a six-figure freelance project management career. You’ll learn how to secure your first paid client in 60 days, package your services effectively, and use powerful marketing strategies to stand out and create a stable income while enjoying the freedom of freelancing, whether full-time or as a side hustle.


By the way, I will show you the systems I used to 2x my income and work 50% less, all while providing outsized value. You'll be able to replicate my entire process.

Who is this for?

01

Anyone with proven project management experience who want to build the confidence to go out on their own and leave their 9-to-6 job behind.

02

Anyone currently managing projects for a company but would like to find consistent independent work as a side-hustle.

03

Active freelancers in project management struggling with inefficient systems who want to create a more predictable and steady work.

        Teaching is both a science and an art form. As an older individual, he effectively communicated recommendations in such a fashion that what I learned today, I could put into action tomorrow. He had an open line of communication so if I did not understand his recommendations or resource materials, I could reach out to him.

Learning is better with cohorts

Learning is better with cohorts

Active hands-on learning

This course builds on live workshops and hands-on projects

Learn with a cohort of peers

Study with a community of like-minded people who want to learn and grow alongside you

Accountability from a cohort of peers

The online world is full of content. Selling information isn't as helpful as it was five years ago. That's why cohort learning is so much more valuable. Instead of information, you get transformation.
