    Chief Learning Officer, Freelance University

    In 2008, my wife Kelly and I co-founded Freelance University with the purpose of becoming the #1 go-to training center for Freelancers and VAs from around the globe! As of this year, we have successfully trained over 25,000 Virtual Assistants and Freelancers in more than 75 countries. Kelly and I have had the great privilege of building our Online University while raising our 5 daughters who are the greatest blessings of our lives. I look forward to meeting you and seeing you either in this program or at our University very soon. I leave you with my favorite quote from marketing guru, Seth Godin: "The only worse thing than starting something and failing... is not starting something."
Freelance 101 is our flagship start-up system for Freelancers, VAs and Online Professionals. This program features a 10-step roadmap to launching your business the RIGHT way including assessing your entrepreneurial readiness, defining your “Big Why,” discovering your niche, creating your personal brand, building your online presence, virtual business structure and office, determining your service rates and packages, building your success network, finding your ideal client, and designing your personal productivity system. These 10 modules will guide you step-by-step to launching and growing the freelance business you’ve always wanted. Note: This program will replace our VA 101 program.
