Let’s kick things off by introducing you to the amazing Brittany Schwartz! Brittany is an amazing student of mine who had been teaching for over a decade. However, with the challenges posed by the pandemic and feeling burnt out, she began exploring other opportunities to supplement her income. Her journey led her down various paths, from considering further education to exploring different industries. But fate had something else in store for her…

Eventually, she stumbled upon the world of freelancing, and that’s when things started to change! She realized she could pursue her passion for writing and use her skills to create content for others. But like many of us, she had doubts and a lack of confidence in the beginning.

The Turning Point: Discovering Freelancing & the Prep

Brittany’s journey took a turn when she discovered freelancing as a potential career path! She stumbled upon the world of virtual assistance and decided to explore this avenue further. While researching online, she came across a podcast that resonated deeply with her – my podcast! Listening to episodes that covered topics like leaving the teaching profession and the challenges she was facing made her realize that she wasn’t alone in her feelings.

However, she initially hesitated about investing in The Prep, which is my comprehensive freelancing course. She considered doing everything on her own through online research but realized that it felt overwhelming and uncertain. That’s when she mustered the courage to take the leap and purchased The Prep, which she described as a fast track to success! This step helped her transition into part-time freelancing and teaching.

Building Confidence & Landing Her First Client

The Prep proved to be a game-changer for Brittany! It provided her with a structured roadmap and relieved the doubts she had about her freelancing journey. With newfound confidence, she put herself out there and started offering her services on Facebook groups, seeking testimonials in return.

Within a short time, she landed her first client – yay! This initial client relationship expanded, with Brittany taking on additional tasks and growing her freelancing business. Today, she is making nearly half of her previous monthly income after taxes through freelancing.

Why The Prep Made All the Difference

The Prep played a crucial role in Brittany’s success story! Its step-by-step guidance and organized approach eliminated the uncertainty and confusion that often follows freelancing ventures. Brittany found the course’s transparency and practical insights so valuable . It gave her hope and the confidence she needed to embrace her new career path wholeheartedly! 

A Message to Aspiring Freelancers

Brittany’s advice to aspiring freelancers is simple and powerful: Just do it! If you’ve been thinking about starting your freelancing journey, take the leap. Embrace the opportunities, put yourself out there, and trust in your abilities. Believe in your unique skills and offerings, and remember that action leads to results!
