After making $200k 3 times as a freelancer and helping 100+ freelancers add $20k+ to their income through my coaching program…

I am now publicly announcing Project $2M, where I am scaling Full Harbor to a $2M business.

The two things I’m primarily focused on are…

1) improving the program so members get even bigger transformations in their freelance business and

2) building the right team to do that, as well as help with distribution and sales so we can help more freelancers who are struggling.

Too many of us creative types (un)intentionally hide behind our work and forget to tell our own stories.

We tell the stories of our clients, but what is YOUR story?

You can read mine in the carousel above. It’s a big part of why I do what I do (freelancing + coaching freelancers).

Comment (or make a post and tag me) with your story. Would love to get to know you more.

P.S. Thanks to gannon.meyer for the inspiration for this post idea 🙏

Something happens when founders sit across from each other with no agenda… and no exit.

Fuse 57 Columbus happened this week adjacent to the Making Midwest conference. Moderated a panel with @jbarnesnyc and @dnt4getaboutdre on “the made by humans trap” i.e., the moment that label stops being a differentiator and becomes virtue signaling.

The hallway and bar and hotel lobby conversations afterwards were the best part.

If you haven’t been in a room like that lately, take note!

Just in time > just in case learning.

Really enjoying @patflynn’s new book, Lean Learning. Feels like an immediate “must read” recommendation.

And hey… check me out taking inspired action and sharing this concept immediately and imperfectly instead of waiting to have some perfect strategy and waiting months to take action. by @fullharbor

Creating art is courageous. Be brave.

@craftmatik_ gave one of the most entertaining speeches I’ve seen in a while at @thedashbash… with some wonderful creative-life lessons and fully animated intro & slides.

👾 Level 1
With the highest level of gov messing things up, it can feel like we don’t have any control.

Why create?
- Art is human.
- Art is resistance.
- Art is powerful.

Resist obligation and guilt to make something to “post something.”

Everything you create is for you. Even when it’s for clients. You get something out of it.

It’s really hard to silence an artist.

When children are young, they don’t make art to share on Instagram. They just want to make it.

Creating art is courageous. Be brave.

👾 Level 2 - Generalist vs Specialist

Everyone starts off as a generalist. You have to try things to know what you like.

Everything is on a spectrum… except, ya know, human rights.

Ai
- Learn deeply… then decide.
- Knowledge is power.

👾 Level 3 - Learn how to learn

Therapist asked, how will we know it’s working?
- You need an indicator of “it working”
- Ask friends and family when they notice you at your happiest
- Sense of childish wonder

Rive opened up a whole branching tree of possibilities for Julie.

👾 Level 4 - Digital life sucks

Portlandia skit about digital loop/mind-fi 😂

Don’t sweat the big stuff.
- Local is where you can actually make a difference… government, organizations, meetups, etc.
- Boxfort rules

Navigating balance… holistically.

More and more brands are investing in internal teams.
More agencies have creative teams.
Things are always changing.

@kitsybooboo talked about how @helloscholar is taking a holistic approach… soup to nuts. (I agree with Kirsten, let’s find a better phrase 😂).

Having a modular workflow gives you client flexibility.

Scholar is also getting involved earlier on… strategy level.

Style agnostic. Bespoke teams to make what the project/client needs.

As individuals…
We should all be advocating for ourselves more.
When we go through a big identity change, you have to reevaluate everything. For her this was becoming a mother.
- Set boundaries that fit your current situation.
- Set work hours (there are no emergencies in advertising)
- Take lunch
- Take breaks (no phones on walks)
- Communicate your needs
- Ask for help
- Unplug

Self care
- Rest drives success
- Socialize
- Mental awareness (listen to what you need at any moment)
- Communicate (express feelings, say no, etc.)
- Self compassion (give yourself the grace you give others)

Really cool to hear this from a top notch studio.

It’s not only ok, but important for you to advocate for yourself.

Coming off of going to a conference, I’m way more likely to chat with strangers.

The muscle memory is there.

And I’m glad I spoke to the lady working at Costco.

A simple acknowledgement made her day.

We are powerfully creative people. Our ideas and internal promptings can move mountains if we act on them.

So please recognize the power within you and let it out!
