Summary
IT freelancers often struggle with three core problems. You can probably relate to one of them: You’re completely dependent on recruiters. You work on projects you would never have picked yourself. (Not a dream project) Your working hours = your earnings. The faster you are, the less you earn.
If you are an IT freelancer with solid skills, you’ve probably found yourself thinking about this already.
You ask yourself: "Is this really my career?"
As an IT professional who broke out of this vicious cycle myself, I can tell you that you’ve only tapped into a fraction of your potential so far. Once you start taking the reins yourself, you will grow not only on a personal level but also in your career. And yes, I know it’s not always easy as an IT pro. That’s exactly why I developed strategies to make the path easier for you. Unobtrusive. Friendly. Authentic. So you don’t need to pretend to be someone else.
Some IT professionals already trust my program and are in the midst of making their switch. Some have even become independent through the program. And the participants aren’t just excited. We’ve really achieved great results.
If this has motivated you to finally make a change, just send me a message with the word "Endkunden". PS: You want to be independent from recruiters too, right? I’m looking forward to your message. Pierre
