    Why should I take this course?

    This is the course I wish I had done BEFORE I started by freelancing journey!
    Fresh 2 Freelancing is an online course designed to make it a smoother ride for those who want to ditch the 9-5 and go out on their own.

    It’s an exciting but scary thought for many, especially if you don’t know how to begin. It’s that fear that holds us back from taking the leap and instead stand still for longer, even if you know that office or agency environment isn’t where you want to be.

    The aim of this course is to give you the confidence, skills and knowledge you need to finally take that step – or at least, dip your toe in the water – and start that freelancing or consulting life! Don’t regret that you didn’t try. Be proud that you gave it a go, and gave yourself the best chance possible by doing this course first!

    What's included?

    • Live virtual classes & Q&A time
    • Workbook & planning tools
    • Support from your facilitator and cohort

    Get your plan

    You will learn everything you need to know about starting your own freelancing or consulting business - from the boring stuff like insurances, through to the fun stuff like brand and marketing!

    Get out of the rut

    You will get a clear picture of your unique offer, who your target audience is, and how you'll reach them most effectively.

    Who is this course for?

    Anyone looking to take the leap.
    This is course is for the comms pros, change managers, project managers, business analysts, and everything-in-betweeners who have been working in in-house or agency roles for their whole careers, and are looking for a more flexible life where they can do the amount and type of work they want, without having to deal with the office politics.

    It’s for those who are thinking about freelancing or consulting, but don’t know where to start. You want to take the leap, but you’re feeling underprepared.

    Or maybe you have started, but it’s been a rocky ride, and things aren’t going to plan so far.
    Or you’re feeling a bit stuck or lost, and you’re not sure what to do next to get your business moving.

    I’m going to give you the tools, processes, and clarity you need to start making that freelancing life happen.
