Welcome to Escape the Cubicle!
Only a year ago, I was a burnt-out career coach doing 5-7 client calls daily. Fifty-plus hours a week, every week. I made decent money but had zero freedom.
I couldn’t take a Tuesday off, couldn’t take time off without my phone ringing constantly. My income required my constant presence.
Then I started my newsletter.
I focused on helping writers grow their newsletters and monetize with simple digital products, so they could build more margin and freedom in their lives.
I built it to 10,000+ subscribers in a year and made $100K from simple digital products under $100: no paid subscriptions, no complicated courses, no high-ticket coaching.
Now I have the freedom to work from anywhere with WiFi. I reduced my client load to just a few perfect-fit clients per month and spend most of my time writing and creating.
Growing a newsletter and creating digital products is truly the “laptop lifestyle,” and it’s available to you too.
What you’ll find here on my Substack:
You’ll find inspiration, stories, and practical tips on how to build your own newsletter and digital products. I write about growing an audience and monetizing it so you have more time and freedom to do what you actually want to do.
