Through coaching, Jerm worked through those concerns, focused his freelance business, and developed client-focused marketing that clearly communicated his skills and expertise.
In less than a year, Jerm got five ideal, steady, high-paying clients and developed a clearer understanding of the value he brings to clients.

Finding Her Focus—and the Right Clients
When Margaret moved from academia to freelancing, she brought strong medical writing and therapeutic expertise. But near the end of her first year, she still wasn’t fully booked or earning a living as a freelancer.

Within a few months of completing the course, Margaret gained four new clients—and three became steady clients.
