Most people get into freelancing (ghostwriting, web design, copywriting, digital marketing, etc) for freedom:

• Travel

• Nomading

• Lifestyle design

• Working on your laptop from the beach

But after about a year, not all that much has changed.

• You’re still trading time for money (no leverage)

• You’re still trapped in another monotonous routine (no novelty)

• You’re usually still working for someone else (sacrificing autonomy)

What you really want is SOVEREIGNTY, AUTONOMY, & LEVERAGE.

The only way out is to stop selling services and get paid for your MIND — (not your time).

You do this by building products that capture your unique perspective, philosophies, ideas, creativity, and synthesized knowledge.

At the highest levels of freedom, you will get PAID to be yourself.

How do you make this transition?

There are 3 main ways to make the pivot:

1) Prioritize Your Own Creations

If you want to eventually pivot out of freelance work, you need to put your OWN brand and projects BEFORE your freelance work.

If you don’t, you’ll stay trapped in a never-ending loop of client work.

The answer is 2-3 hours a day, before your client work, building your own projects and creating your own content that will be the fuel for your pivot into full autonomy.

To become truly autonomous and sovereign, you have to put yourself first.

It’s not selfish.

In the long run, it’s how you’ll make the most impact.

2) Build Leverage

Say you’re a ghostwriter.

You have a few clients, but you’re still living month to month, in a cycle of outreach, onboarding, & fulfillment.

How do you go beyond trading your time for money?

You need LEVERAGE.

• Build a low-ticket community for ghostwriters or freelancers

• Launch a mid-ticket course that scales as your audience scales

• Launch a group cohort teaching aspiring ghostwriters how to ghostwrite

Leverage is your ticket out of freelance work and into true self-sovereignty.

*Side note:

This is also why cross-disciplinary study is so important. When you combine an array of technical skills (copywriting, marketing, sales, web design, etc.) with soft skills and philosophy, you can build products, courses, schools, communities, and programs that are truly unique and “niche of one.”

3) Create a Digital Universe

Your Digital Universe is your ecosystem of:

• Low-ticket courses

• High-ticket courses

• Communities

• Cohorts

• Free guides

• Books

• In-person events

• 1:1 work

• A million-dollar network

• Content across platforms

Your Digital Universe is the North Star and highest evolution of your brand as you walk the path of becoming a sovereign creato

You will build it brick by brick.

Once your universe is built on the back end and all systems are running on the front end, you can focus your time and energy on creativity and connections, become a thought leader, and get paid for your unique knowledge and perspectives.
