Same project.
Two different
freelancers.

Before

"I'll redesign your homepage. I charge $85/hour. About 30 hours."

Sold as Time × rate
Total $2,550
After

"Your homepage converts at 1.4%. Get it to 2.5% — that's $180k more this year. The work is $14k."

Sold as Outcome × value
Total $14,000

Same skill. Same hours. 5.5× the price.

What are you
leaving on
the table?

Move the sliders. See what your work could earn at a properly-priced outcome model. The math is honest. The number is usually uncomfortable.

Your current rate $85/hr
$25/hr $200/hr
Billable hours per week 25 hrs
5 hrs 50 hrs
Your repositioning shift
→ Annual income, after the shift
Currently: $110,500
$198,900
That's $88,400 more a year — same skill, same hours, different framing.
Lost over 5 years $442,000
Effective rate $153/hr
! The "Lost over 5 years" number is the one that should sting.

No download form. No newsletter trap. Two real tools a working freelancer can use this week — whether or not we ever talk.

→ Tool 01 · Script Read · 90 sec

The "too expensive" defense.

The exact words for when a client pushes back on your rate. Doesn't apologize. Doesn't drop the price. Reframes the conversation in one sentence.

→ Client says
"That's more than we were planning to spend."
← You say (don't flinch)
"Totally fair. Help me understand — is the issue the budget, or the value at this price?"

The Friday client audit.

A one-page worksheet for sorting every client into three columns. The fastest way to find the next $20k in work — usually hiding in your existing book.

Before Brandon, I was the classic struggling freelancer — bouncing between low-paying gigs, barely covering rent, dreading my laptop every morning.

For the first time, freelancing feels like a real career. Pays the bills. Doesn't burn me out. If you're grinding and going nowhere — this is the push.

Hi, I'm Brandon.

24 years freelancing. Multiple six figures. No day job. No safety net.

After hours: guitar in my church's worship band, cooking for friends and family, and trying to (finally) snag a Masters ticket.

Yes for some.
No for others.

Coaching only works if you're the right person at the right moment. Here's how to tell.

Likely a fit

You're a working freelancer who's quietly stuck.

  • 12+ months of paying clients.
  • Tried raising rates — it got awkward.
  • Doing good work, can't price it.
  • Saying yes to projects you shouldn't.
  • Want a real answer, not a polite one.
Not a fit

You're hoping coaching replaces the work.

  • Haven't shipped paid client work yet.
  • Want a magic script, not new habits.
  • Won't act on this for 30+ days.
  • Looking for validation of current rates.
  • Want a guarantee. None exists.

Questions you're actually asking.

If you've never had a paying client, you're too early. Get one or two. Then come back. I'll still be here.

A course teaches the framework. Coaching applies it to your specific clients, your rates, your next conversation Tuesday. Course is the map. I've walked the road.

Varies — some want a single session, others a 12-week container. We'll talk on the call. If the number isn't right for you, no pressure. I'd rather you walk away.

30 minutes. You tell me where you're stuck. I tell you what I'd do. If coaching isn't the right move, I'll say so. No pitch deck. No "limited offer." Just a conversation.

First rate conversation: 2–4 weeks. The compounding stuff — referrals, retention — a quarter or two. Anyone promising faster is selling you something.

What we'll cover

The honest 30 minutes

  • What you charge vs. what the work is worth
  • The single positioning shift that matters most
  • Whether coaching is right (or you'd be better off without it)
  • If we fit: what working together looks like
