The internet is full of a million free resources and tips for freelancers who want to get started in business, but from what I’ve observed there isn’t a lot of strategy that exists around how to navigate the journey in your first few years.
In today’s episode I’m sharing my 7-step gameplan to help you build out your business and get your freelance business up and running with intention and purpose. Every journey is unique, but my hope is that this blueprint will give you some structure around the proven steps you need to achieve the success you desire.
Reminder: whether you’re running a side-hustle or a full time freelance business, you’re going to need to have a purposeful strategy in place that helps you generate results. Without a strategy, you may find that self-doubt creeps in and you may find this debilitating, because it’s almost impossible to grow without a good plan.
From defining your ideal client to marketing your business and setting up systems to defining your brand, this episode is jam-packed with strategic tips, tricks and ideas to give you more clarity and direction on your business journey.

In this first episode of Fearlessly Freelance, I’m here to share my on-the-ground mission behind the podcast together with my ‘why’ in creating a dedicated community for freelance women. Discover what to expect from the podcast each week from both myself and guest experts, and learn how the Fearlessly Freelance movement can help support and guide you on your freelance journey.
Fearlessly Freelance began as a simple podcast name and concept earlier in 2021, but has since grown quickly into a community and a movement for freelance women looking for connection, support and advice on their freelance journey.
Having spent the last 20 years in marketing including mentoring freelancers informally for many years, I’ve always thought about creating a dedicated education platform for freelance women specifically.
I finally realised that dream this year and launched Fearlessly Freelance as a brand and community in September 2021 with the podcast following in quick succession in October 2021.
As well as my podcast and our online community, Fearlessly Freelance also strives to be a movement for freelance women. In a space where there are a lot of free resources and tips, my mission is to create a no BS space that brings women together so that they feel seen, heard and understood.
A fearless freelancer is someone who is tired of feeling average: maybe you’re looking to create something extraordinary but you need strategy, support and inspiration. Fearlessly Freelance is here to hold space for women at whatever stage of freelance business they are at.
This podcast aims to have the conversations that freelance women need to hear, celebrating women via three core values. Firstly, confidence – creating opportunities to help you to feel more confident in business by providing resources and systems that nurture you through the sometimes difficult process of building confidence.
Secondly, Fearlessly Freelance is here to celebrate your uniqueness – helping you set your own rules, to be as individual as you like so you can stay in your own lane and avoid comparisonitis.
And thirdly, to help you feel good about yourself by championing your authentic self by helping you share your voice, protect your boundaries and create a business and life that feels great.
If you feel called to be part of our Fearlessly Freelance community, we would love for you to get involved – tell us what you want to hear on this podcast so we can have the conversations you want to hear.

Over the past two weeks in my private coaching calls, I’ve been chatting a lot about STRESS and SUCCESS. I’ve been identifying what I see as 10 of the most common causes of stress in business - and how you can try and avoid them or overcome them and working through these with my business owner clients. Today I unpack 5 of these for you, and follow up with the rest in a few weeks!

So I have been watching all the past episodes I have been sharing and I realized that I was never talking about what I should have talked about in the first place...
Yes, I'm referring to sales funnels
So what exactly are sales funnels?
I like to share make things simple for my mind, not everything you know or learn should be something complex...
If you have ever been to a mart or a grocery store to buy some eggs...you have been through a funnel...yes you heard me right.
Sales funnel is not something that was buzzing from past few years...it has been around from past free decades...
way before the internet even existed...hard to believe right?
Sales funnel if put forth in technical terms...its the journey that the customer walks once he/she enters your world
what does that mean?
let's make it even simpler....if you take the previous example...
the sales funnel is nothing but a sales message and an offer...in the previous example where you buy eggs...sales message is the advice that my doctor always said which is " do you want better health?" my answer was obvious yes
and the offer was..."eat an egg every single day to have better health"
wish that helps you..and always remember

So when I about to start my 25 minutes walk, all of a sudden its started raining and which I wasn't expecting
I immediately said to myself, not verbally but subconsciously that, Surya, you are not going on a walk today
but, I wasn't ready to take that thought because when I started to have my walking routine I said to myself that I will be walking no matter what happens...
that was my biggest lesson...
" Commit to yourself that, no matter what happens you are going to achieve your results"
that's exactly what I did, instead of walking a walk outside I started walking in my house
Yielded the same results without going through all the trouble...
That's what I wanted to share for today & I also talked about a bonus topic today have a look at that as well
Always remember

So, when I started my entrepreneurship journey back in like 2015, I ventured out with amazon fba as my choice
I did not know much about amazon back then except for that I can sell products there...so I started asking everyone and anyone who I can get my hands on to know what is the best product I can start with
everyone was sharing what their opinions were and I was super confused about which product should I go with...
So I did something super crazy...and never do this...
I listed down all the products I had and randomly selected one closing my eyes...
I know that's crazy
I did not know that back then...so quickly selected and launched the product into amazon...and nothing happened...
My life was still the same because there were no sales...
Yes you heard me correct, there were no sales happening and it took me 5 years to even realize that I was listening to people who are not qualified to give me their opinions because they have not achieved the results which I wanted
I'll say this again " I was listening to people who are not qualified to give me their opinions because they have not achieved the results which I wanted "
That's something which I wanted to share here and listen to the episode on more details I talk about...
catch you tomorrow where I'll share more

This was when I started jumping all over the place getting excited to know what actually was happening before anyone ever talks over a phone call to close a lead….
I was working with this person and so wanted to see what he was doing to generate leads and to be frank I did not understand a single bit of it….actually I did not know I was just looking a part of it...
So I did what most people do...I searched in google and Youtube on what happens before business and I saw all the videos with super curiosity…..
Most of them were talking about having setting up business and traffic...oh traffic that's another whole interesting topic we can talk about later….
So I was walking what people were talking about and of them there was this one person who mentioned funnel…..
The last time I heard funnel was back when I was studying
I believe we used it during our chemistry lab…so I was curious to know what funnels were and
searched the word funnels on Youtube and there he was “Russell Brunson”...looking like a 17 year old kid on the thumbnail….even in the video….and he was talking about what sales funnels were…..
So when I was watching the video...I did not understand a bit of it….
I was too fast for me, I was really bad at listening at first but gradually increased my focus and that’s what I do now...anyways the video was too fast for me and I listened for a few minutes paused the video and rewind back and listen to it again and was doing this throughout the video
Once I was done with the video it blew me away and I was super excited with what he was teaching and I started to go through all of his videos...one after another….
Wow...he was spewing gold everywhere….I wanted to pick up all the golden nuggets he shared and I believe I wasn't able to sleep that night...
I was thinking all night long….I was saying myself that I really want to do this….I was enjoying every second he was talking about sales funnels….
And a thought kicked in me and I started thinking like Is this another shiny object syndrome? You are going to jeopardize this current opportunity you have if you focus more on funnels...and I actually wasn’t feeling comfortable with all these thoughts
So I woke up fast that day...and I did something I never did….
I made a decision to decide what I have to do for the rest of my life...and I wrote down all my thoughts and I almost spend the next couple of days doing the same
after a lot of thought I decided to go all in to learn and build sales funnels...it wasn't an easy decision...it was super hard for me to decide
So the first thing I wanted to know was to look at what Russell was talking about and catching up with what he is upto…
Looking at all the videos and content he has out there...i was overwhelmed….
And my mentor Mr.Dan Lok always says that being overwhelmed is good….I believe if you are overwhelmed at least once a day you are not learning or growing….
So I started looking at his website and that's when I came across his books...Dot Com Secrets and Expert Secrets
I had no idea which one to get 1st….so I ordered them both…..and I get them in like a week or so and I started going through them and was like learning a ton about front end offers, backend offers, landing page and a lot more….that’s when Russell came out to the open world and said that he was doing something crazy and he rewrote DotCom secrets and Expert secrets books
My jaw just dropped down because he was also launching a new book called Traffic Secrets….and I was like WOW….
Of Course I ordered them and they are yet to show-up on my doorstep and I have super excited and in fact I have something to in my thoughts to do and share with you….
Ahhh...super cool….
Anyways, I know that there will be challenges that you will have to go through are already going through….and there will be choices you would not be really comfortable to make
And I wanted to say that I understand you….and I know what you are going through….
I came across this phrase which changed my view on almost everything...which is
“ Lean into the problem” and that exactly what I’m doing right now….
Anyways…
until next episode….Oh Oh Yessss!

It was back in 2015 my career as a software engineer started & was working 9-5 work-life and wasn't actually interested in software lifestyle from the start and in fact I'm not sure why I got selected in the first place :p
There was this specific day where it was super stressful and there were other days that I had some challenges but this was different, I had to stay overnight and on top of that I had a steamy conversation with my boss...
I wasn’t like super cool with what happened and I started thinking like, how can all these people around me keep up all of this?
I wasn't happy thinking that my life would be like this day in and day out... quite frankly I felt like this is not what I signed up for...
That's what iI started to see what others were doing to escape the 9-5 lifestyle....
That's when I came to know about the whole internet world, and I started to follow a few people to see, if there is a way that I can quit this job so that I can have some peaceful days...
All I wanted was a place where I can enjoy what I do...it's crazy to think back, I really do not know what I did back in my 9-5 job….i had a few tasks and I used to complete them daily...and it was like eat, sleep, and complete the tasks and do all over again…
Anyways, it wasn’t fun & all I ever wanted to do was have my own business and so that I can quit my job and give my wife the comfort of quitting her job as well, so that we can actually stop running after something we don't care about and settle down for once
In order to quit my job, I had to first find out what to do and I dabbled here and there for a while, where I started my Amazon FBA and it was a disaster….
I searched for a best winning product, and did all kinds of stuff that the people were teaching and I selected a product and I ordered a whole bunch of them and sent to Amazon fulfillment center...and I started dreaming like….that’s it….my life is going to change anytime soon….
I even started talking to my supplier on sending the next shipment and was asking for discounts and stuff….
And was waiting for my first sale….first day went by...2nd days was done...a whole week was gone...before I realised that I launched aviators in winter…..coming to think back now “what a dumb move” I still laugh on that.....
Then I came to know about the whole drop-shipping model and e-comm business and had some success with there where I was doing and was making like $9 for every sale I made after the expenses….and that did not last long….it wasn't long before I started losing money to acquire a customer...so I had to put a hold on that as well...
I was doing all this and at times….
I was scared like hell just thinking that my wife or my parents could ask me what I was doing with all my money, because I wasn’t saving like I was supposed to and instead spending almost all my salary on building that business...
That’s what started me to think about what businesses exist where I do not have to put forth you know...generational wealth to build my business….and that’s when I discovered one of my mentors, Dan Lok, and the art of closing deals over the phone.
The first time I heard of this...I was like...is that even legal? What, I can call people on phone and sell them stuff….It was such an awesome thing because till that time I did not know that I can call people on the phone and close deals…
And then I started to learn this art from Mr. Dan Lok and before I knew it, I was spending hours and hours of time practicing the techniques, and knowing ton’s of people and enjoying stuff….
A few months passed by and I started looking for people who I can close deals for...and I was talking to a whole bunch of influencer's and started working with a few, not going to take any name...just to let you know….
Me and the influencer used to talk on what’s going to happen and how many leads will I have daily to talk to and commission structure and everything and we would move ahead…
The day came where I was supposed to start closing and it was crickets….there were no leads….I was like okay, leads will come pretty soon….
Pretty soon turned out to be a few weeks and they weren't as many leads as I thought….even if they were leads, they were dead cold…. And if you have ever closed a deal, you would probably know that it's super hard to convert cold lead into a sale…
Still I got a few deals closed here and there and closed like $15k in sales in like 2 months doing part time….and in order to improve my closing ratio I was practicing different techniques with people I know and...
Also, out of pure curiosity, I started looking how the influencer was generating leads, and I did not have any clue, as I did not understand that back then….
So I started looking in youtube, google everywhere for people who can best explain me on what are things that go before the actual business…
And that’s when I found Russell Brunson and the Funnel Hacker Movement he created…
I saw that there were a few books that he wrote which were best sellers and,
I ordered one of his “Dot Com Secrets” Book
I was just blown away with the content in the book….where was this person all this time?
That’s when I started understanding what a sales funnel, the lead magnet, the webinar were...!
Only if I knew this before I could have used sales funnels in my e-comm business and all the business I was excited about...
There was this challenge that Russell mentioned, where he said that all your existing problems will be solved if you published for a year
And I was like, oh yeah! I’m up for that!
So this is where I’m going to document my journey as I grow along from scratch and started my online business and it would be super cool if you tag along with me!
