I get this question all the time: “If I’m already freelancing, how can I transition to working full-time as a service provider so I can stop working for the man in my 9 to 5 job?”

In this bonus episode, I wanted to talk about this because so many people are in a 9 to 5 and they add freelancing as a side hustle (like I did 13 years ago). And then they start to see the writing on the wall. This could be a legit business where you’re self-employed and offering digital services– anything from email marketing, social media, affiliate and launch management to podcast editing, all of that as a real business. 

It's a big jump from doing this work in the cracks of time, evenings, and weekends to an independent contractor business that’s replacing your full-time income. But how do you actually make the switch?

I’m answering this burning question and sharing more about

• 4 things you need to do so you can go full-on into freelancing
• How to make sure you’re financially prepared
• Networking and building client relationships
• Practical ways to avoid burnout while still juggling a full-time job
• How you can learn to become a freelance service provider

If you’re balancing a traditional job with a freelance side gig and want more flexibility, you CAN make this transition a reality.
