Update: This newsletter has gone into retirement. But here’s something even better: a compilation of ALL of the letters subscribers received during my first six months of entrepreneurship. Soon available in ebook form:

How I Surpassed My Day Job Income in Just 6 Months of Self-Employment: Your Transition to Freedom

~ A weekly email about finding freedom in work and life ~

Intrigued by the possibility of self-employment? Curious about the financial details behind becoming an entrepreneur? Want more freedom in your career and life? Maybe you’ve thought about all these things before, but have no idea where to start. Or maybe you’ve tried making the switch to entrepreneurship, but it’s been harder than you imagined.

In this weekly letter, I explain how I’m transitioning from working for an employer to working for myself — so you can do it, too. This move doesn’t have to be overwhelming or scary; instead, I’ll show you how it can become the most fulfilling decision you ever make.

While I sometimes share on my blog the struggles and successes of building a business, this letter goes far deeper than that, into the nitty-gritty practical details readers often ask to pick my brain about.

Through this letter, you’ll learn:

The financial considerations that go into making this type of career shift, thought processes you can apply to your own entrepreneurial scheme
How to navigate the complications of cobbling together an income as a “slasher,” and how this blueprint can be the key to doing work you love
How outsourcing is helping me earn more and work less, plus easy ways to incorporate it into your work and life
Tips for working remotely so you can see the world while keeping clients happy and growing your business
Time-management techniques that prove effective for ambitious multi-taskers who often feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day
Creative ways to use this quickly morphing digital marketplace to your advantage
Ideas for landing and keeping clients so you always have enough work

My shift is from full-time journalist to social media strategist/freelance journalist/entrepreneur, but what I’m learning applies far beyond those fields. This is about creating the life I want to live and building a career on my own terms, something we all crave in one way or another.

I’m figuring out how to make a living doing what I love — and I’m inviting you to come along, so you can start living your dream life, too.
