Whether you need help with legal issues such as drafting or auditing a freelance agreement, planning your pension, or auditing your financial statements, call in the right advisor when you need it.

“Does anyone have an entry into this company? Can this agency be trusted? Which laptop should I get? Is anyone else going to this event? Just asked over 85/h for the first time and agreed right away!” Here are just a few examples of how our Slack works!

We give you various tools that make your position even stronger, such as our hourly rate analysis, recruiter blacklist and a number of classified systems that we only share with our members.

When you work with us, you'll learn to unlock the complete freedom of freelancing.
Below we have already answered the most frequently asked questions about the digital program. During our introduction there is plenty of room to ask your individual questions.
If you are unable to pay the entrance fee now, we can offer a payment in instalments. For this, get in touch with us.
More than 120 people now and they are all still freelancing. Which proves to us that it is successful. Want to know more about other participants' experiences? Then take a look at us YouTube channel.
On average, you will work 160 hours a month and you will earn twice as much net income as a salaried employee. So if you start freelancing even 1 month earlier because of this program, you will have already earned 2500, - back. If you spread the other 3500 over a year that you are freelancing (+/- 2000 hours), that is 1.75 of your hourly rate. So if you have even more than 1.75 or, for example, 2.50 higher hourly rate with our techniques, or can talk the recruiter down, you have already earned it back.
Then you already have a profit compared to doing it yourself, and that's purely financial, regardless of all the stress we're going to help you prevent and avoid.
And let's be honest. If you fully focus and get help negotiating and getting good assignments, we can still hope that together we would get your rate at least 5 euro higher than usual, if it's not 20 euro.
Every year, we isolate ourselves on the fantastic Portuguese island of Madeira with a select group to work dedicated to our company and the next steps for a week.
So no party vacation, but focus on your company to take it to the next level. In addition, we are in nature with hikes, canyoning and paragliding. To get you out of that standard way of thinking.
We select the most driven freelancers who are successful, want to get the best out of themselves, and want to work on projects where they don't work just the hours they agreed to.
We can tell you that we have already had more than 120 people make the switch and that everyone is still freelancing with at least 5000 euros net per month. Many people even with rates above 100 euro. However, that doesn't guarantee you and we can't offer it either. Because there is 1 variable in this and that is your own effort.
Entrepreneurship has a risk. What you need to ask yourself is how you're going to have the greatest chance of success. Alone, or with a team around you.
You're probably reading this question because, of course, you're just seeing words on a website. So take a look at our testimonials at YouTube and the tips and tutorials we share at Instagram. You're not going to get more certainty than that.
You know it with normal training courses: You listen to someone for 3 hours, hopefully you will have 2 or 3 learnings that you will really apply and most of them will pass you by or you will forget it in a few months. With our program, you will continuously work with the knowledge and really master all the tactics.
In several small, manageable steps, we not only explain how it works and what to do, but litteraly practice it with you. Then you will do it yourself and, if you run into something, you can join our weekly calls to troubleshoot. In addition, you are in our community Circle groups, where you see others taking the same steps, so you are not alone in your transition or growth journey.
Your access is for 1 year. After that, you can continue to use all tools with a monthly fee. Why not lifetime access? Because we are a community that helps each other.
So we don't want “read only” members who just piggyback on other people's experiences and knowledge. We are a group that helps each other.
