How to cultivate a 6-figure freelancing mindset


Hey Writer!

Is six-figures your dream as an online writer?

Some of you may be nodding your head, excited at the thought of making $8,333 per month from writing online. Others might be thinking that's the start, but you plan to make much more from your writing career.

Here's the thing about reaching that dream.

There's only one thing standing between you and it. It's an invisible brick wall that just won't budge as you try to find more clients and increase your writing income.

That brick wall is created by your mind.

Your mind likes to tell you that making 6-figures a freelance writer:

  • Takes years to achieve
  • Requires working with tens of terrible clients first
  • Will be *extremely* difficult

This is your mind trying to keep you safe. It's keeping you in your comfort zone by reminding you how difficult it will be if you leave. If you try to reach for 6-figures, you'll have to spend years working 12+ hour days and banging your head against the wall in suffering.

Fortunately for us, getting out of our comfort zone isn't that scary for this goal.

--> It doesn't require us to jump out of a plane with a backpack we hope will turn into a parachute.

--> It doesn't mean we have to give up our life savings in hopes of an ROI.

--> It doen't need to take thousands of hours of sacrifice.

Our mind gets a bit confused when we try to achive goals like freelance writing. It goes into its primitive state, telling us to stay in our cave because we have less of a chance of being eaten there. But, the world isn't full of sabor tooth tigers ready to make us their dinner.

It's full of companies who want to hire writers.

By playing it safe, we end up letting opportunity pass us by as companies hire somebody else to get the job done. Just this week I watched a writer use the Client Acquisition System to find 3 new potential writing projects with her dream clients. This writer started working with clients two months ago and is already working with her dream clients.

Instead of staying in her comfort zone, she joined the Client Acquisition System and now gets to be on the other side of that imaginative brick wall.

She gets to work with clients she loves, on projects that interest her, and make a steady income from writing online.

Doesn't staying in your comfort zone sound like a worse scenario than getting out of it?

This week's training is to remind you that every freelancer you look up to, started where you are.

At one point, I had $0 in freelance writing income. I didn't have a single writing client. I barely knew what writing online or freelancing meant.

But day-by-day, I worked towards figuring it out.

  • I learned how to write a great article by practiticing on Quora.
  • I got my first writing project by asking clients to work with them.
  • I made a steady income by working long-term with clients I love to work alongside.

Consistency is what took me from $0 in freelancing income (and 0 clients) to 3-5 consistent clients per month and a steady 5-figure per month income.

I didn't have anything special that you're missing.

All I did, and all the writers you look up to did, was get out of my comfort zone and:

--> Practice writing online.

--> Ask clients to work with them.

It's the exact same steps you can take to reach your 6-figure goals.

But you have to pop that invisible brick wall like a balloon first. It doesn't exist as long as you don't allow it to.

And the best way to pop that brick wall out of existence is to take action towards writing online and working with clients.

The best action to take? Asking companies if they want to hire a writer.

That brick wall has hung around for far too long. Time to let it move on so you can tap into your freelance writing dreams.

Happy writing,

Eva Gutierrez

P.S. One of the writers enrolled in the Client Acquisition System has sent out 5 cold pitches, and received 3 responses asking to work with her. This is happening right now as you're reading this training.

Hey Reader! Have you ever asked a team member for something...and then weeks later had to send a second follow-up to get it? This is a painfully relatable experience. It's the reason freelancers have to charge for deliverables AND the time it takes to communicate with clients. If they don't charge for those follow-ups — they're profits decrease as they eat into their "hourly" wage by writing follow-up emails. What if every task was completed on time? What if you didn't need to send follow ups...

Hey Reader! I just made a big investment in my business. And it's pretty scary. Having a business means that it's your job to look out for opportunity. It's *also* your job to take it when it arrives. This means that even when you see the price tag and it makes you cringe a little...it's up to YOU to take the plunge. You have to decide if this investment will come back ten-fold for you. Or, if it'll fizzle out into nothing. That's a lot of pressure. You're the person in charge of making sure...

Hey Reader! When I made my pivot earlier this year from focusing on teaching freelancers how to get clients to productive business communication—I was a bit worried. Would people get it? I've worked with over 100 companies as a freelancer. I've seen companies work seamlessly together and I've worked with clients that made me want to refund them all their money and run in the opposite direction. I know that communication is a HUGE problem. But would other people realize it? It's tweets like...
