Course overview

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

I will show you exactly how to build a lucrative, independent career as a solo project manager by freelancing, consulting, or offering fractional project management services.

Leveraging my proven coaching methods and strategies, you can unlock your potential to earn six figures annually and start commanding hourly rates between $100 and $400.

With my guidance, you'll successfully transition from employee to Solo PM and secure your first paying client within 60 days or less.

After pivoting into project management early in my career and eventually advancing to the role of COO, I transitioned again—this time into a thriving, six-figure freelance project management business. Today, I serve stable, long-term clients who consistently pay five figures each month.

Now, I'm here to share the exact insights and strategies I've refined over the years so you can achieve similar results without the costly trial and error.

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.

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.
