Hey! Thanks for stopping by. I’m Brennan Dunn, and I have one goal: Make you better off than you were before you met me.
Maybe you’re struggling to find clients. Or you’re overworked, and hardly have enough time to hang out with your spouse and kids. Perhaps you’re afraid to charge what you’re worth, and are barely getting by.
I’ve been there. I’ve been through all of that, and stumbled in the dark for quite a few years until I figured out how to conquer these dragons. And I want to help you do the same.
So why should you listen to me?
I’ve been in and around the world of freelancing for around 7 years now. My first introduction was like many of us — I did sidework after hours. Once my client base swelled to the point that I was able to quit my job and freelance full time, I quickly realized that I was losing out on a lot of opportunities by staying small.
So I grew my company. Over time, I opened up an office, expanded to a bigger office downtown, and had eleven full-time salaried employees on payroll. We had clients all over the world and worked with some very recognizable brands.
Family and health reasons had me step away from my brick & mortar agency, but I’m passionate about helping freelance consultants grow their businesses — ideally without all the roadblocks and setbacks I experienced.
I make my living now providing great software and products to freelancers and consultants from my home office. I love what I do, but most importantly, I love the success stories and kudos I get each day from my readers and customers.
I’d love to have you join me and tens of thousands of other freelancers on my weekly newsletter. Each week, I send out strategies and tactics myself and others have used to grow our businesses. If you aren’t focused on improving yourself and your business each and every day, you really should be!
