Why I hate freelancing

Was having this conversation with a client of mine.

I was explaining to them why they needed to expand their product line. My most profitable product… the one that’s responsible for a good 40-50% of what I earn — has paid for my house, my truck…

All kinds of gadgets.

Kid’s birthdays and Christmases.

Making my wife still love me… 😀

This one product… I’ve tracked it and, for several years now, it’s consistently been my biggest money-maker. But, I made it 6-7 years ago. I’ve made a few updates to it over the years, but nothing major.

I’ve probably spent a total of 10-15 hours maintaining it in that time.

It’s virtually hands-off at this point.

And earns me tens of thousands per year… all on its own.

THAT is what I’m talking about when I say “leverage”. Leveraging your *knowledge* to create evergreen products and services that don’t require your time. So, you snap that “time-for-money” paradigm.

And open yourself up to unlimited revenue potential.

For a lot of freelancers, it’s the missing link.

Because as wonderful as freelancing is…

And, it IS wonderful.

It’s still NOT the most leveraged position you can be in.

So, it’s kind of a love/hate relationship.

Yet… freelancers are perfectly positioned to add the type of product I mentioned to your existing offerings. That’s one of the big things I show you how to do in the Ascension Matrix.

How to add leveraged products and services to your existing offers.

To open yourself up to that unlimited revenue potential.

We’re not talking about 500/hour or 1,000/hour.

I’ve probably earned 50,000/hour or more from the product I mentioned above. Which I know probably sounds a little impossible… but it’s actually not anything “magic” or “one weird trick” -ish.

Stuff you already know, in fact.

But, I show you how to do it…

In a way that fits perfectly with what you’re already doing.

And a way that virtually anyone can do.

Of course, it does take some upfront work and some thought to nail the right product to offer… so probably not something the one-werid-trickers will get all hot and sweaty about. But, if you have a little foresight…

Can be a real “freedom-generator” for you.

Anyway, I teach you what to do in my Ascension Matrix course. That course is now up on Skillshare — but only for a limited time. I’ll be taking it down and selling it on my website for probably around 100 bucks… at the end of June.

So, if you want it while it’s essentially free…

Now is the time.

I’ve added the Ascension Matrix as Lesson #3 in my Let’s Talk Freelance course. The link to that course is here: https://myjohn.us/ascend. If you’re already a Skillshare member, that link will take you right into the course.

Just watch Lesson #3.

If you’re not a Skillshare member, that link will get you access to an exclusive 1-month free trial of Skillshare. This IS an exclusive — so, the only way to get it is through a link like the one above.

Skillshare’s standard trial is just 7 days.

With the trial, you get unfettered access to all 30,000+ courses on their site, including the one above. Every course, every lesson, every PDF, download, etc. You get it all during the trial.

And if you cancel before the trial ends… you don’t pay a penny.

That may appeal to you.

If so, the link to get started, again, is here: https://myjohn.us/ascend

Later,

John

P.S. If you’re a Patron of mine, you’ve already had access to the full course for awhile now. Link to access it is here: https://myjohn.us/patreon

I started this 3 days ago, following John’s suggestions, and I gained the Upwork Rising Talent badge in less than 2 days. I have a call with my first potential client tomorrow. Thanks, John!

John is the man! I followed his steps and I am flooded with interviews in a week. I got into two Talent clouds. The very next day, I got an invitation from the talent specialists from Upwork and a lot more. I wanna shout out, he is the best in this. Thanks John for helping me out!

After viewing John’s course, I made an Upwork account and it got approved the same day. Amazingly, I got my first job the very same day, I couldn’t believe it, I thought maybe I got it by coincidence. Anyways I completed the job and received my first earnings. Then, after two days, I got another job and within a week I got 3 jobs and completed them successfully. All the things he says seem to be minute but have a very great impact on your freelancing career.

I’ve been in an existential crisis for the last week about what the heck I’m doing as a business owner. Even though I’ve been a business for about a year, I’m constantly trying to think of how to prune and refine services. This was very personable and enjoyable to watch. Usually, business courses like this are dry and hard to get through…. repeating the same things over and over again. This was a breath of fresh air. THANK YOU.

I’ve definitely learnt so much in 2.5 hours than I’d learn watching different videos online on Youtube and reading tons of articles on the web. John has a natural way of teaching, where he is passionately diving in the topics and he makes it very easy to grasp — someone who wants you to really start running your business well by learning about the right tools and implement them in your online business. I will definitely share with many of the people I know who have been struggling for so long, I did find my answers and I’m sure will do too.

I have been following John Morris for several years now. His instruction ranges from beginner to advanced, to CEO-level guidance. I have referred friends and clients to John, and have encouraged my own daughter to pay attention to what he says. All of his teachings create wealth for me (and happiness for my clients!) I can’t speak highly enough about John, his name is well known in my home.

Sukh Plaha

John is a fantastic and patient tutor, who is not just able to share knowledge and communicate it very effectively – but able to support one in applying it. However, I believe that John has a very rare ability to go further than just imparting knowledge and showing one how to apply it. He is able to innately provoke one’s curiosity when explaining and demonstrating concepts, to the extent that one can explore and unravel their own learning journey. Thanks very much John!

John has been the most important person in my freelance career ever since I started. Without him, I would have taken 10 or 20 years more to reach the position I am at now (Level 2 seller on Fiverr and Top Rated on Upwork).
