I’ll cut to the chase: I created this course to answer the following six questions I am asked nearly every day by UX and Design freelancers of all stripes:

How much should I charge?
How do I estimate a project?
What’s the best way to promote myself to get clients?
How do I pitch and present to those clients to land the work?
What should be in my proposal?
What terms should be in my contract, and how do I create one that won’t scare them off?

Why am I asked so often? Because there are simply no good, useful, actionable answers to be found anywhere. Especially online, where articles and videos that promise to answer these questions actually do nothing of the sort. Instead, they give fuzzy, nebulous advice that freelancers can’t take and put to use.

I figured it was time to end all that, because anyone with enough courage to work for themselves deserves a whole lot better.

Working for yourself is hard enough without wasting time on empty promises and slick marketing-speak. So that is NOT what you’ll find here.

Instead, you’ll find practical, step-by-step advice that you can put to use right now — based on my 30 years as an independent Designer and UX consultant. I ran my own firm for 10 years and moved to consulting for the next 20, and to be honest, I made every mistake in the book. Sometimes twice. But as they saying goes, we learn best from our mistakes. And I personally believe that in any situation, either you win or you learn.

So what I’m going to give you here is everything I’ve learned along the way — principles and practices that I follow religiously and lean hard on. Techniques that are as responsible for my success as the value I give to clients when doing the work.

And you can ask me any and all questions you have along the way; I answer every single question and message I get, no exceptions.

If you’ve ever asked yourself any of the six questions above, or ever had a moment where you felt like “I don’t know what I should do here,” then this course is the answer you’ve been waiting for.

Let’s get started.
