What People Are Saying:

I jumped into freelance school about a year ago after I had my first call with Michele. It was just exactly what I needed to get everything buttoned up to leave my full-time job early this year, which I did in February. I’ve been full-time freelance since, and I’m loving every minute, and I couldn’t do it without this support.

— Pam, Freelance Graphic Designer

Before quitting my job, I felt really lost as to how to transition from full-time to freelance. I honestly don’t know if I ever would have gotten there without this program. I didn’t have any freelance friends. I didn’t have anyone in my network who I could go to and ask these nitty gritty questions. So, I would say I signed up more for the practical aspects like invoicing and how to find clients and things like that.

— Sally, Strategist

Joining Freelance School just coincided beautifully with the possibility of going freelance that I had been knocking around in my head for a long time. It just kind of gave me the courage to actually make the leap. I did leave my full-time job and I’ve been freelancing, and I’m loving every minute of it.

— Kim, Freelance Producer

I have been witnessing Michele in her complete embodiment of what it means to be a freelancer... So, yeah, I am just starting off this journey, but my mentality is there, so I am just so excited to be here, and to be surrounded by women who are doing it.

— Loretta, Freelance Consultant

This course made me feel smart as I entered the freelance world. It armed me with logistical knowledge (taxes, invoicing, etc.) that I often return back to as I manage my first projects, but more importantly, it mentally prepared me to take on a freelance mindset.

— Sally, Freelance Strategist

I freaking love this course so far. I never thought I’d hear talk about the ego in a course like this, but it’s refreshing to hear someone talk about the well-rounded self, recognizing we are human beings going through life.

— Toni, Art Director

The Course is really beautiful. Outside of being strategic and tactical, it’s thoughtful and helps you reframe your approach to work in a transformative way, where you are at the center and taking care of yourself. It’s transformative and empowering.

— Alex, Freelance Creative Director

I’m on the verge of signing my dream role while also getting to continue freelancing. Your modules were such a paradigm shift for my brain. It still informs how I approach everything, including this new job. I refuse to outsource any of my agency or autonomy.

— Vanessa, Creative Director

I really feel like this program has been a super big deal to me. I talk about it a lot, and I tout it to freelancers all the time. I cannot imagine this year without it, whether that’s the 1-on-1 coaching support or the group calls. The way that you’ve made me reframe basically every situation I’m going through, and every other situation that people are going through on the group calls has been like career-changing and life-changing.

— S, Strategist

I just want to affirm what a big F-ing deal it is to not spiral. That is literally the defining path for people who stick to this, and people who run back into the arms of a 9-to-5 even if they hate it, just for the ‘perceived’ security. I am experiencing this incredible state. I’m a very anxious person, and prone to catastrophizing and all the things. I’m a textbook case. And, this course has really helped me combat that.

— V, Creative Director

I feel like you are providing a service that many freelancers don’t even know they need. When I was starting, I had no concept of the depth of the overthinking that can happen when you are first not working, and then I had my first experience with no work for two and a half months. I think it’s such a valuable thing that a lot of new freelancers are not even aware that it’s a thing.

— Kim, Freelance Producer

I joined Freelance School, because I was already freelancing, and just having trouble tackling it. Once Freelance School came out, I was like, ok I want to do this, but I don’t have work yet, so should I be investing? But, I was meditating one day, and it was just calling me. So, I joined and now it’s so good, and I feel like it’s finally all clicking and coming together, which is super exciting, and yeah, I will never look back.

— Lana, Freelance Strategist

My monthly retainer wants to 3x the terms in March next year! Thanks for all the support.

— Peter, Freelance Designer

Today I actually had a meeting with a recruiter and she said, ‘are you sure you don’t want to go full-time?’ If you would have said this to me 5 years ago, even 2 years ago, I would have been like, ‘you’re my dream agency,’ but, no. I was like, ‘I literally love being freelance...’

— L, Freelance Strategist

I really give this course a lot of credit. It gave me a lot of confidence and tactical advice that I could go back to when I would start spinning out. I have 2 projects that want to book me, so I’m just waiting for one last piece of info before making my choice!

— A, Freelance Creative
