You don't have to do it alone
Introducing my personalised Portfolio Career Mentoring sessions
People often ask me if this portfolio career thing is possible. If it’s viable. If it’s sustainable.
They ask me how I started and where I’m going. They want to who I work with, what I do and how I make money. They’re curious to understand how I consistently put myself out there online and generate opportunities that seem out of reach.
People often wonder if it’s possible for them, and perhaps you’re wondering that too. Wondering if you can build a career that sits at the intersection of freedom, creativity, meaning and money. If you too, can generate clients, earn income, and work on projects and creative passions that today feel slightly beyond your grasp.
I tell them (and I’m telling you) that it’s possible, but not easy. Achievable, as long as you have solid support and people to guide you as you stumble and fall.
You must learn how to structure client deals, negotiate your rates, actively leverage one project to get to the next, productise your knowledge, build a tech stack, cement your reputation, show up online, nurture your network, move through the fear and stay grounded while reaching for the stars. You must be willing to test and try and experiment and fail and persist and quit and walk away one day and walk forward the next. You must weave your own safety net of friends, mentors, coaches, advisors, cheerleaders, supporters and devils’ advocates, and continue making moves even when it’s hard. Even when you feel lost. Even though you’re not sure.
For me, it’s been 18 months of rapidly growing my portfolio career, 5+ years of working for myself, a decade of launching and scaling consumer, tech and media brands globally, and 1 lifetime to arrive here today. On the other side of these lessons. With battle scars, with knowledge, with skills and conviction. And a passion to help you do the same.
Today, I’m (nervously) excited to launch my personalised Portfolio Career Mentoring for anyone wanting to turn their knowledge and interests into income and impact. Through one-to-one sessions, I’ll help you connect the dots between your strengths, skills, experience and passions to create a life and career that you love.
I’ll help you get clear, show up, build presence, negotiate rates, land work, win deals, bank money, deliver strongly, have impact, see around corners, save time and feel confident in your decision to go after a life you always wanted for yourself but never believed was within reach.
You may have been dabbling in this portfolio career thing for a while or perhaps you’re just toying with the idea.
Let me guess…
Up until now, you’ve doubted your capability and hesitated making bold moves. Until now, you haven’t stepped wholeheartedly into the role of a protagonist. Until now, you may have thought that the only option was to toe the line, follow suit, regard the rules, accept the status quo, work 9-5, feel burnt out and accept that this is it.
Until this moment, you’d signed up to terms and conditions you didn’t agree with.
But now it’s time to write your own.
This is for the aspiring, early stage and established portfolio careerists:
Aspiring: You’re an IC, manager or leader who’s feeling burnt out by being in a role that doesn’t align with who you are. You want more freedom and fulfilment but aren’t sure where to start.
Early stage: You’ve been in the self employment game for <3 years and while you've made some progress, you need help gaining momentum and confidently presenting yourself to the world.
Established: You’ve been in the self employment game for 3+ years and are ready to diversify your income streams and expand the business beyond yourself.
