Super big fan of doing things like this in newsletters!
Also! Fyi: you can hit reply to any newsletter you get and 100% of the time (I think?) it goes right to the writer. I love this way of getting into conversations with my favorite newsletter writers.

5. Visualize yourself as a creator with confidence.
"The simplest way to increase revenue is to increase your prices."
This is a wild story.
Most companies don't understand pricing or pay close enough attention to it.

shared this story about a UK travel company that had a terrible year:
→ they lost $163M...and
There's so much money to be made out there through courses, products, content, sponsorships. You have the knowledge. You've got the experience. Other people are doing it, so why not you?
Being a multihyphenate, by definition, is lonely. There may be coworkers or a team in one of your income streams, but as a whole - you’re alone carrying the whole picture.
That's why BCM is such a special place ❤️ It's a place to talk shop for all of your work, as a whole.
It's such a trip when a potential freelance client doesn't bat an eye at my prices because, on the one hand, I'm super relieved and, on the other hand, I think, "Oh dang, I should've gone higher." 🤷🏻♀️
Creating Notion systems + templates is one of the fastest ways to create a digital product and monetize outside of your 9-5
A great guide to get you thinking, planning and making 🚀
Over the past year, I’ve created more than 50 Notion systems.
It can be a breeze, if you do it right.
Whether you're building it for yourself, for other people or for selling purposes.
Here's my thought process/guide how to do it efficiently:

@realBrookNash
This looked like an amazing event, and honestly, I hear from multihyphenates all the time that LinkedIn is THE place for making money, finding clients, etc. Can't wait to hear your insights! 🤩
Did you know even Neil Armstrong *yes, the first person to walk on the moon* had impostor syndrome?

Exactly! This actually reminded me of

I love Mondays.
Think I’m crazy? Then you haven’t seen Monday Async😎
At BCM, we start our week with a theme from our growth coach

My favorite thing in the world is cheering on and lifting up professionals who also do other things outside of their 9-5s 👯♀️🙋🏽♀️
Some build stuff, others make courses, do coaching or consulting, speak at conferences, etc

If you do freelancing and consulting - what is your best source of leads? Curious if word-of-mouth continues to hold strong for everyone, or if there are some great new marketplaces or tools out there?
Would love to share any good ones with our community!

@techbizgurl
? She's like a walking definition of the multihyphenate dream: a thriving 9-5, speaker, creator.
We featured her in this week's newsletter but I just have to give her a shoutout here too ❤️
Ps catch the full edition here:
My 1st client paid me $150 for copywriting + a website.
They were a pain in the ass and micro-managed everything.
Had a recent client pay me $6,000.
They implemented everything and scaled from $0 to $15,000/month.
Charge more = Attract higher qualtiy clients.
@HabitExamples
YES! This. It's a bit depressing seeing all the newsletters that have started and stopped. Do you think it's because it takes too long to taste success?
Did you hear the legend

Let's make that big cash money 🥰
Current multihyphenate ❤️❤️❤️
@ABetterJones
(also on LinkedIn) - inspiring without being intimidating
@ItsTayFay
- generalist, growth tips, and generally relatable and helpful content
@epicgardening
(also on IG) - left field but so inspirational and a total breath of fresh air
Anyone can lower their prices to “win” new business. This doesn’t require any skill. It just means you make do with less.
The trick is to be the highest bid and win, and have the client thank you for it. This requires skill.
Challenge for you: collate the data of all of the your inbound. Questions, asks, help-requests, tasks given eluding to you being right for it, etc.
There are money making opportunities in that data - it’s people’s version of saying “you could charge for this”.
Start there.
You know what makes all the difference for someone living life beyond the traditional 9-5?
A vetted, private community celebrating their wins, working through challenges, learning from each other, and crushing their goals.
And we just so happen to have one of those❤️
