Here’s the hard truth about running a freelance business...
We all go through the Frankenstein stage, where our business is a collection of parts borrowed from each client and project along the way.
But it inevitably brings you to a crossroads.
Those who keep trying to be everything to everyone...
End up becoming employees in their businesses, trapped by work that is nothing more than an exhausting cycle of trading time for money.
Those who put on their big-girl-pants and finally decide what THEY want...
Cut out the work they can't stand and build a BUSINESS instead of a sweatshop that sells anything to the highest bidder.
Look, it's not easy, or you would have done it already...
but the answer is simpler than you think:
Get super focused on your highest-impact work.
From there, the path becomes incredibly clear.

Here's exactly what we'll do together in 90 minutes over Zoom:
1. Pinpoint your current stage in the Freelance Business Lifecycle so you can see the path forward.
Yep, you're not alone; there are stages we all go through. We'll break down each phase, bust some myths that trip us up, and map out where to go next.
2. Dive into your business and evaluate six essential areas: strategy, systems, clients, services, profit, and the value you bring.
You can't fix everything at once. We'll see what's working so you know exactly where to start instead of throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.
3. Take a fresh look at your clients, services, and offerings to align them with the business—and life—YOU truly want.
We'll uncover the criteria that matter for you (e.g., the 10K month, a specific dream client, a 10-hour work week) and then figure out which parts of your business you need to scale, sustain, and scrap to get what you need.
Here's what you'll walk away with:
1. A crystal-clear understanding of which stage your freelance business is in right now (so you know how to breakthrough to the next stage).
2. A detailed snapshot of your business that highlights exactly where to focus—whether it’s strategy, systems, clients, services, profit, or value.
3. A deep dive into your clients and services, revealing what you need to:
-
Scale: These are the bright spots, the hidden gems, the things you want to double down on in your business.
-
Sustain: This stuff works fine—don't fix what's not broken.
-
Scrap: Red light! This is the stuff that's got to go, but for whatever reason, you're still saying yes to. (We'll also address the sneaky mindsets that lead you to say yes.)
PLUS, as a special bonus, all attendees get my Profit Planner!
Does "profitability" feel like rocket science?
This comprehensive tool helps you calculate your projected income, subcontractor expenses, and profit margins, and even breaks down what you’re making hourly so you know that you're not giving away the farm.
You can wake up tomorrow and cringe when you open your inbox...
...or you can register now for Built to Scale and start saying NO to the stuff that sucks your time, energy, and sanity—so you can work on YOUR terms.
I’m Sarah.
I've helped freelancers from all over the world build better businesses.
I’ve been there... figuring everything out alone, learning what works and doesn’t work for my clients, and constantly refining my business model to give me what I need in life.
I'm a real-life multiple six-figure solopreneur who knows firsthand the blood, sweat, and tears it takes to make a business work.
I'm also a seasoned coach and business strategist who has helped business owners from all over the world scale on their own terms.
I'm not here to give you all the answers. (Anyone who tells you they have all the answers is lying.)
I'm here to provide you with a roadmap + supportive environment to connect the dots yourself because scaling looks different for everyone.
