Hey there, I’m Ellen.
I build courses to help freelancers (and aspiring freelancers) in professional services realize their full potential as solopreneurs.
Do you struggle with bringing in new clients?
You don’t have to be a used car salesman to be good at business development.
Here are the 3 easy sales strategies I’ve used to build a thriving business. Find your ideal clients and take them from cold to sold, all without getting that icky, salesy feeling.
Bringing in new business and managing demanding clients isn’t easy.
Do you spend days waiting for the phone to ring while other freelancers have too much business to handle?
Do you lie awake at night contemplating going back to employee life because you don’t know when your next paying job will come in?
Do you stress about networking events because you get so uncomfortable selling yourself?
Do you feel like you have to let clients take advantage of you because you need the income?
I get it, because I’ve felt all these things before.
It took me years to grow a thriving freelance business; I didn’t have the experience and knowledge to do it right the first time. So, I did it wrong. Very wrong. Like, work for only one client for an entire year-level wrong.
Having finally cracked the code, I’m sharing my experiences and all the wisdom I acquired on the journey so that you can thrive without all the fumbling and stumbling.
When your income is on the line, you can’t afford to spend months or years on bad strategies. You need to know what’s going to work, now.

Ellen gets into the tricky topics and breaks them down point by point - no generic advice here! She helps me to be true to myself and still wow my clients. I like that she teaches with stories and examples - it's much more fun.

After a good long time of fence-sitting, I have recently decided to move to freelance work.

Lisa F. Design Consultant
Building a freelance practice isn’t about luck, it’s about taking the right actions.
Building a successful freelance practice takes confidence and know-how. But you’re left to figure it out on your own since there are few helpful resources out there.
It doesn’t have to be scary and difficult. My courses will give you specific and practical steps to take to build your ideal business - however you define that.
Stop waiting for your luck to change and take charge of your freelancing future.
