For 14 years I sat in a cramped cubicle, buried in spreadsheets, office politics, and corporate bureaucracy, with little time for the work I loved most: writing.

My days were ruled by tasks that left me drained and I’d go days without quality time with my daughters. By February, I’d already blown through most of my vacation days attending to my ailing parents.

Fed up, I gave myself a six-month deadline to ditch my job and build the life I wanted — one that allowed me to make good money on my own terms and schedule.

When the deadline came, I fired my boss. In another five months, I surpassed my previous corporate salary by 20% writing just 20 hours/week.

By the end of that first year, I was turning prospects away and cherry-picking my favorite and most profitable customers.

Talking with other freelancers, I soon realized this wasn’t common. While other writers complained about long dry spells and difficulty securing high-paying gigs, I struggled to keep up with demand despite charging higher rates.

Then it dawned on me: In my past career, I'd been the one hiring writers for marketing content. I knew how prospects thought, because I'd been one of them. Knowing what they craved, what made them drool, and what they couldn't stand  made selling a breeze.

Before long, I began mentoring fellow writers, sharing tactics I’d used to attract a steady stream of business with zero hype or high-pressure sales. And that's how this program came to be.

My goal is to help you replicate those outcomes in your own business — minus the mistakes I’ve made along the way.

Lost Time 
& Opportunities

When you go it alone, you don't get the benefit of learning from people who've been where you want to go, and solved the very problems you're grappling with now.

Indigestion
of the Brain

Conflicting advice coming at you from every direction can derail your business, and leave you feeling drained and discouraged.

Divas, Jerks,
and Hagglers

When you don't know what terms to enforce or red flags to watch for, you end up attracting divas and cheapskates — clients who are hard to please, and who try to haggle at every turn.

No Support, No Accountability

Without peers to cheer you on, gently call you out, redirect and hold you accountable, you end up tripping over blind spots and bad habits, and not progressing as quickly as you should.

Put simply, Fast Forward Freelancing is an intimate, membership community where you'll receive loads of peer support and expert mentoring.
