Freelancers Get More Cash By Doing Less
January 2018, I was limp from sexual thoughts.
Bikini girls on Instagram, racey Netflix shows, or my wife showing some thigh.
Nothing worked.
I didn’t know it at the time…
Yep…
Burnout set in.
I’ll spare you the details. It took a long time to connect the dots with my noodle and developing burnout.
And as a business owner, I had to figure things out fast before thins went splat!
Burnout for freelancers can mean a number of symptoms such as:
- Trouble sleeping
- Overthinking
- Writers block
- Avoiding EVERYONE
- Shiny object syndrom
- Imposter syndrome
- Easily annoyed
- Sleeping in late
- Less networking
- No energy to work
And much more. It’s a broad list. And if you have any of the listed above, pay attention to this post.
It can save your freelance career, and cost you nothing but time.
I’ve been around hundreds of freelancers in my day. I paid BIG money attending networking events and online communities loaded with big-name marketing gurus and freelancers.
Here is the big discovery that changed my business around fast.
Ready?
*AHEM* They are ruthless about their workspace and reach.
They all had a custom designed work space.
When you get that in your bones, you’ll never be the same again. I promise you.
You see, a place of work is not a place of work.
It is a place to transform.
It’s like Clark Kent stepping into the phonebooth and coming out Superman.
You get in flow.
You become energized.
Distractions are not distractions anymore.
You are a specialist.
You are one in a billion.
You want to be free, get more clients, and charge more?
Here is the key:
Are you paying attention to anything in your workspace?
Are you feeling… flowy?
You see, many freelancers think they can work in any space at any time.
And I am here to tell you with mad expereinces…
If you don’t have a place to recharge, think, and be YOU… You will never have a space to do it.
You have to look at all the micro and macro mechanisms and distractions. A butterfly effect of mass destruction or peace.
Such as desk, tools, temperature, sounds, snacks, temptations, phone placement, posters, fidget spinner, coloring books, windows, pillows, TVs, games, seat cushion, books, etc.
And that is only the beginning.
Freelancers skip this because they wants hacks and hustles.
The problem is hacks and hustles fizzle after 3 months. Every. Single. Time.
Failing freelancers don’t do ruthless.
They wait and self destruct in 10… 9…. 8….
I have studied under a world-class consultant, Perry Marshall for the last 4 years. His seminars and courses are extremely deep, unique, and busting with world-class marketers.
You can find out more about Perry and his latest book on Detox, Declutter, Dominate: How to Excel by Elimination and how it’s helped hundreds of entrepreneurs get shit done in half the time. Without adding more.

Listen up my dear freelancer. It’s doesn’t matter if you are a copywriter, photographer, curator, painter, or candle stick maker.
Serial killing materials and gadgets that bring you zero money are a HUGE lever to getting back your sleep, sanity, and high ticket clients.
Always keep in mind, it takes the same amount of energy to get a $99 client as it is to get $9999.00 client.
SAME AMOUNT OF ENERGY.
The key is to live it with extreme leverage and clarity.
Not clutter and running around chasing.
