The Painfully Obvious Reason Most Freelancers Are Broke


Listen Later

For years, I believed freelancing felt unstable due to the industry, market, and clients. However, the real issue was offering $300 packages to people unwilling to pay that amount, leaving me puzzled about why $10K months felt out of reach. In this video, I reveal the painfully obvious reason most freelancers remain stuck. It's not about mindset or confidence; it's about math, and almost no one is doing it right.


If you're freelancing full-time, side-hustling, or trying to earn a living from your skills, this 5-minute brainstorm will change everything. The only reason it's not working is that your numbers don't add up.
