Hey! Come party with 2,360 creators. I'll help you create opportunities on the internet & sneak through "third doors."
As of today, I'm a full-time writer! :)
Hey Reader,
You heard me - I'm a full-time writer, baby!
My last day at my job was yesterday, and I've lept into doing what I love.
Am I excited? Hell yes!
And am I scared? Of course!
Twelve months ago, I tried the same thing. I quit my day job and clung to a flimsy-ass plan.
But the plan wasn't proven. I jumped too soon.
Way too soon.
This time, I had a bunch of conditions before handing in my notice:
- At least 12 months of savings in the bank
- At least one steady client
- Replace my monthly 9-5 income (~$2,000/month) with the money I make online (freelancing, blogging, online courses)
- A proven process to land high-paying clients
- Confidence that I can deliver high-quality client work consistently
Only once I ticked these conditions did I step off the ledge.
Do you see the common thread?
You got it.
Confidence ~ Proof ~ Mindset
Squeezing the harmful juices out of our brains is 80% of the game, and the best way to do this is with action. But not just any action. It's by taking action that you know gets results.
Sure, there will be mistakes along the way. That, I guarantee. But the alternative scares the sh*t out of me.
I'm not the only one:
That's why I'm doing this.
I don't know if my close friends get it. My parents certainly don't. But at this point in my life, I feel a burning desire to give this my best shot.
No more excuses. No more books. No more Gary Vee.
It's time to put in the work.
On LinkedIn, I'll also be documenting my way to £10K/month as a freelance writer. Why £10K/month? This is what I need to live comfortably in New York (where my girlfriend lives).
I'll be sharing tips, mistakes, and numbers - every Monday to Friday - so that you can see what it takes to ditch the 9-5 and travel the world. (In January, my first stop is Budapest!)
So if this sounds up your street, give me a cheeky follow on LinkedIn.
I hope to see you there! :)

Read time: 1 min Hey Reader, I've been sat here for the last 20 minutes thinking about what to write. I take that as a good sign. You see, writing online has been therapy for me. I've shared all of life's ugly details with you. But right now, I feel a sense of peace I haven't experienced in a while. Things are good. So much so, I've ditched my original plans for this email. Instead, I thought I'd share 7 things I'm grateful for. Maybe it'll encourage you to do the same. 5 minutes is all you...
Hey Reader, Last Saturday, I did my first live commentary for Harrogate Railway's YouTube channel! Here's the replay. But this isn't what I want to talk to you about today. Not really. No, the unexpected thing happened because of a 51-second video... Making the video I wanted to make a "day in the life" voice over video. So throughout the day, I took the following shots: Researching on my laptop Writing notes Leaving my house Walking to the stadium Going through the turnstile Commentating on...
Hey Reader, Since the start of Feb, I've been trying to figure something out: How can I best serve you? You see, people on my email list have different interests: Outsourcing Freelancing Writing And on it goes. But what's the thing you've got in common? You probably stick around for me. *I just felt some sick in my mouth* 😅 All my favourite creators keep it real. Take Alice Lemee. We've never met in person, but I feel like we're internet friends because of her posts. (She's well worth a...
