BC CAREER COACHING
Saved by @Alex1Powell

1/ Hello world,

@stefanpalios and I have some really exciting news. In many of my career coaching discussions, a lot of what came up was the fact that many people have started freelancing.

[continue the thread]

 2/ This fell directly in line with something I read on Stefan's freelancing blog, @PulseBlueprint:

"There are nearly 60 million freelancers in the United States alone"

"58% of people that went remote due to COVID are now considering freelancing"

So that called for action
3/ Freelancing can be really challenging. It involves a lot of really interesting skills that take time to learn and develop on your own.

- building a website
- taxes, accounting, finances
- marketing
- sales
- project management

and so much more
4/ It's one hundred percent possible to learn this on your own, as many of us have had to do.

But for all of those who are trying to adapt quickly, and go at in on their own, this can be really challenging to learn and experiment with on your own and be profitable earlier.
5/ One of the biggest challenges lies in the fact that most freelancers go at it completely alone.

They start on their own, they experiment and make mistakes (big and small), and nobody around them really understands the ups and downs you go through.
6/ Our absolute biggest goal here was to build a community for support and accountability.

A small group to meet with weekly for 6 weeks, and share wins, mistakes, and lessons learned.
7/ All while being guided and consistently challenged by @stefanpalios, a seasoned professional freelancer who has helped freelancers collectively close over $1M+ in deals
8/ In case you didn't know, @stefanpalios is also a 2X author.
9/ He also writes consistently on a content platform he's developed himself called @PulseBlueprint, writing weekly articles like these
10/ And these
11/ So if you're tired of working 40+ hours a week for someone else, or are generally interested in starting your own business...
12/ Or you'll want to learn how to launch a profitable freelance business and start working when you want, where you want, on what you want, then I'd love to welcome you into our new course: Freelance Foundations.
13/ Whether you're a designer, a writer, a software developer, a photographer or have any other skills you'd like to share with the world, Freelance Foundations will help you launch profitable business in just 5 weeks of training.

And this isn't a video course, it's all LIVE
14/ So unlike a lot of other courses you might be able to get on Udemy or Skillshare, here, you're actually going to have live feedback and support from Stefan on YOUR unique circumstances and business.

And have a community of other freelancers starting their businesses.
15/ One thing that's really exciting about this program is that Stefan will teach you how to SELL your services in an authentic way!
16/ Yes that's a taboo word for many (it certainly was for me for my entire career).

But one thing I've learned if you want to run your own business, you need to learn to sell. There's really no way around it.
17/ Stefan's got seasoned sales scripts that you can use to have positive discussions with your clients, and land clients without feeling sleazy.

After all, you're great, you offer an important service, and SOMEONE OUT THERE NEEDS YOUR HELP!
18/ A bit about the program:

- 5 weeks (Jan 19 - Feb 19)
- Class - Tuesdays 5:30 - 7:30pm
- Feedback Hours - Fridays - 12:00 - 1:00pm

If you're interested, check it out today and book a call! We've only got 15 spots available!

You won't regret it.

Hey, who wants to read a story about @Upwork fucking over freelancers in order to upsell their clients on unnecessary services the clients don't want and can't afford? Strap in!

So after my marketing agency closed I started freelancing again. A marketing company that wanted to work with me only hires freelance writers through @Upwork. So I signed up. I wasn't thrilled about it, but that's who they contract with and it's their marketing company.

I've been receiving regular assignments from this company, thru @Upwork, for over a month now. I've written dozens of articles for them. My work has been exemplary. I've been handling repeated rush jobs and delivering. The client was and is very happy. That's coming from them.

While I was wrapping up several assignments this week I was contacted by the marketing company. They asked if I had taken a new full-time job and wasn't available anymore. It seems @Upwork's talent group told them I was no longer available to take assignments.

I was very surprised. Nothing had changed on my end. I still needed the freelance work very much. I told them so. So the marketing company pressed @Upwork and were told there were "compliance" issues that were preventing the marketing company from giving me any more work.

Rani Chennamma of Kittur was one of the first women rulers of India who fought against the might of the British Empire in 1824. Rani Chennamma was born in 1778 in a small village of Kakati in Belgaon distt of the State of Karnataka.


She was born into the Lingayat Community to a man named Dhulappa Desai. From a very young age she was trained in horse riding,sword fighting, archery and diplomacy. At a very young age of 15 yrs, she was married to the King of Kittur and became the Queen of Kittur.


It is said that King of Kittur Mallasarja was once moving around in the neighbouring kingdoms to find support to fight Tipu Sultan. It is then, when he came across Chennamma and he immediately got attracted to her sheer confidence and bravery.

Rani Chennamma and King Mallasarja had a son together who died very soon after the death of King Mallasarja in 1816. As the Queen of Kittur, Rani Chennamma immediately adopted Shivalingappa as her son and declared him the heir to the throne of Kittur.

This did not go well with the British East India Company who was enforcing the Doctrine of Lapse those days, according to which the adopted children of the Indian rulers were not allowed to become their heirs and if the native rulers did not have children of their own, their...

1) OBSERVATION: The frequencies are changing. I would have to assess stats on the electromagnetic field to see its fluctuations. All I know is, I am highly sensitive to energy/frequencies, and they are changing, because…

2) 2 Weeks ago, my dog was effected by it as well. He is hearing things that aren’t technically audible. I can tell by his body language and sounds. One week ago I began feeling a pressure in my head and ears. It wasn’t painful at all, but it was intense for a bit.

3) It reminded me of taking off in an airplane a bit. I felt like I was in a vacuum. It went on and off for a couple of days. I’ve picked up on frequencies and high pitched sounds (not audible to most) for 30 years, and today my right ear began to ring for longer than usual.

4) This is nothing unusual for me, with exception of the duration. This happens often with me. No, it’s not tinnitus. Only this time, when I spoke, there was reverb creating a high pitch in my ear from my voice. This lasted for about 30 minutes. It did not hurt, just annoying.

5) So yes, the frequencies are changing. What this means exactly, I am unsure of at the moment. Some will say electromagnetic fields, others will say ascension, and some will say pole shift. I honestly can’t say at this very moment.

1/ there is this sense when you are young that your accomplishments need to be a list of things that seem impressive to others. A list of several items you did.

This isn't actually right, so here is another suggestion.

2/ I remember being 26 and writing about reading 52 books a year. I wrote blog posts about it. They got copied. It became "a thing." Now it's in Twitter bios. It looks impressive but it's insanely useless and I shouldn't have done it.

3/ what I should have known at that time is that only young idiots like myself, with no accomplishments, find list of tiny achievements impressive. Anyone who has actually done anything of substance doesn't gaf

4/ what is actually difficult, and worthwhile, instead is to do ONE single thing for a very, very long time. It's much harder and much rarer and results in outlier outcomes much more often.

Of course you can find this out too late if you are chasing the dragon of Ted talks etc

5/ if I had only worked on a startup for a year, I would've gotten nowhere, the same way that if you lift for 3 months, it achieves nothing. Everything good in life comes from perseverance, but at the beginning, you're just like "I need to be somebody!!!"
