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?

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.

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

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

Justin is one of the best people I know who preaches what he has already done instead of talking generic fluff.

Keyur Kumbhare

Founder at GrowedIn

I was immediately struck by Dr. Bateh's teaching style and ability to connect with the audience. Dr. Bateh demonstrates empathy, kindness, and a deep understanding of the topics he teaches. I loved the class I took with him and the way that he demonstrated various applications of the field in real world careers.

Stacey Pecenka

Trauma Injury Prevention Program Manager

Dr. Bateh's teaching effectiveness can be observed in several aspects of his career. His presentations are excellent. His enthusiasm about the topics he tackles makes the class more interesting.

Gustavo Olivera

If you don't yet know Justin or haven't had a chance to work with or learn from him, I would consider moving that onto your priority list

Eric Ross

Chief Strategy Officer with Two Twelve Benefits

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.

Rick Coad

This was an extremely educational course, easy to read slides, the material was presented to promote clear understanding.

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.
