Freelance Copywriters Worry About Failing Career And Living In A Box

Back in 2008, I fell down some stairs. I didn’t wake up for several hours after. 

Lucky me, I didn’t break any bones. Just a big purple bruise on my forehead. That’s what I get for waking up with a heavy hangover. 

These are my past coal mining days when I chugged Bud Light every weekend. 

I didn’t care about myself and other people. The thought of becoming better looked ugly. 

I said to myself “Self, you really screwed up now.” 

Burning up the relationships with other people and myself. 

Self destruction ahead.

I don’t know about you…

But I hate feeling like shit. 

I hate holding guilt and worry. 

And I really hate worrying about myself. 

I try to tell myself to forget it and move on. 

But it never really helped me in my everyday life. 

I sad and depressed coal miner with a dead end outlook. 

After having a hard wake up call…

I had a blessing placed upon me. 

After licking my wounds, I glanced around my apartment. 

Three empty beer bottles. 

An empty ketchup bottle. 

Little food.  

Batman posters on the wall. 

Dirty laundry all over the floor. 

A mess. 

Nothing to help promote my life. 

And BAM. It hit me. 

I discovered a BIG block. 

A block that turning to an even bigger problem if not addressed now. 

And here is it…

My environment set me up for extreme failure.  

Was it my fault? Partially.  

I didn’t know what I didn’t know. 

Once I figured out how to create an environment for super success, I never looked back. 

All I thought about was being single, broke and stupid. 

It all changed when I changed my environment on my own. 

What does this have to do with freelance copywriting?

Almost everything! 

Learning to unleash your best freelance copywriter self by creating an environment for major success. 

Would you perform heart surgery at a germ infested junk yard? 

Your environment is everything!

Get in flow with environmental changes. 

Be like other successful freelance writers and copywriters. 

And if you are in flow, your output is GOLD!

Get a freelance writing job fast. 

An easy score to write for money. 

Know how to write and network with confidence.

You are a special writer.

Knowing your reader so well… 

… they get spooked by your writing. 

They’ll say “Wow! How did he know?” 

That is ONE of the biggest discoveries when becoming a winning freelancer. 

Most newbies feel so “kicked”, flustered and rushed in so many directions they burnout fast! 

Experienced any of these issues? Then this post is for you.

There is a rule I am about to give you that gurus rarely talk about. 

And here it is…

Successful freelance copywriters are ruthless about their environment to control their psychological time. 

They know how to create a safe place for success. 

They know how to remove deadly distractions and pains. 

They are freaks of nature when it comes to delivering the goods. 

Like Elon Musk and Steve Jobs. I am sure you have heard of stories about how freakishly good they are at setting up the best environment to get shit done.

And you can too! 

Create an attractive environment for YOU. 

Not for mom, son, or spouse.

Successful freelance writers and copywriters work with extreme focus.

If your focus is getting clients to pay you, then PAY attention to the words on this page. 

Clients are constantly plagued with BS. Problems rise as they go do business as usual.  

And how do you get them to fork over loads of cash?

Remove the BS for them. Help them feel safe. Shout trust and confidence. 

Clients want something faster, easier, and satisfying to their business. 

And how do you show trust and confidence?

By practicing what you preach. Next level shit. 

You see, clients love seeing numbers and scaling. 

They are addicted to graphs and accounts. 

Clients want to CONTROL of the knob. 

And so do you. 

Give them control by reducing the amount of BS in their life. 

Bring value.

What type of value?

Bring your trust and speed to the game.  

By waking up in a professional environment structured for your best work. 

Freelancing is not a difficult career. 

You don’t have to be the best. 

BUT… and this is a BIG BUTT…

Freelance writing and copywriting is a focus and execution of ONE THING THE CLIENT CARES MOST ABOUT career. 

Want to make it as a freaky rich freelancer?

Be a specialist. 

What mess are you willing to clean up that others won’t clean?

And offer a solution that ONLY you can do it now.

I have been surrounded by hundreds of freelancers in my network. 

One pattern I spotted from the successful freelancers is SPECIFIC skill. 

Not a generalist.

Not a “I do everything for a flat fee” kind of freelancer. 

They do ONE THING. And they do it well. 

That is ultimate leverage to unleashing confidence. 

And confidence and having fast results comes from a laser focused writer. 

A super successful writer knows money grows fast to those who produce great work. 

Work that cannot be outsourced to a machine or duplicated by another writer. 

Freelance writers and copywriters secretly worry about where the next gig is coming from. 

And clients can smell it on worried freelance writers. 

Have marine confidence that is rock solid and unshakable. Clients love confident freelancers that possess strength. 

If not, you’ll lose grip of the steering wheel. 

Look at this like a professional. Not a generalist. 

A narrow gate of success. 

Be specific to a client’s problem. 

Do they need help with a headline? 

Do they need help with storytelling and hooks?

Do they need help finding ONE emotional trigger?

But it is all built on your ability to put out great work.

Great work comes from a custom stellar environment.

You can be a razor sharp predator on their grounds. 

Hunting to keep your client fat and happy. 

I used to write copy… but I got out and I love to write for myself. 

Nowadays I help other freelancers discover their skills, master them fast, and get on with their great life. 

Truth is, we are all gonna be dead in 150 years. Get out and put out your shingle. 

Get out there and help people. 

And if you are a freelance copywriter and want to make BIG bucks, change your thought patterns and look at the tactics and system. 

No need to guess. 

Action is the way to success. 

This isn’t about the basics of writing, grammar, and networking. 

This is about your environment.

The mood, music, colors, temperature, snacks, paper, pens, chair, noise…

All of it.

Study it like a madman.

I am dead serious…

If you want to be a successful freelance copywriter and writer, be ruthless. 

I am NOT saying be a jerk or asshole. 

I am not giving you permission to stab, yell, cheat or divorce people.

That is not the way. 

The way is the truth. 

You restructure your day for success. 

Some will not take it lightly. 

But oh well… this is your ass on the line. Your future and career. And you are fully responsible for the results in your life. 

For example, if you want to lose 5 pounds in a few days, get ruthless. 

You throw out bullshit food. Get rid of sugar-packed soda. Physically throwing out things in your environment triggers HUGE success.

Don’t create an environment to breed thoughts of “Well… I guess I can have a nibble.” 

You create an environment avoid negative triggers. 

Once you restructure the environment, you will see a MAJOR confidence boost.

Now you have confidence. 

And confidence is proof to your mind. 

And now you believe. 

And whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Napoleon Hill

And look can handle adversity with confidence. 

Because you are no longer give into the cookies. 

And other people are like “Wow… I want what he has.”

All you have to do is create an environment to breed productivity, trust, and control. 

And clients give buckets of cash to  confident freelancers. 

It screams trust. 

You can do it… by protecting yourself and willpower. The gauge will stay in the green and you laser focus on doing things that bring weight loss. Such as ONLY water and tea in the house. 

Maybe bulletproof coffee during the day and metamucil before bed to curb cravings. 

Stop cutting yourself. You have more personal power when you take control of your environment. 

If you want to be a damn good writer, then get rid of your phone, close down flakebook, and start writing about ONE thing that a client would love to have on their website. 

Be ruthless.
