I thought I'd reach out specifically to those of you in the agency or freelance world who are part of my email community. I trust you don't mind an extra email in your inbox.
I'll be honest, part of this message is about my services, but it's not solely that. It's also a conversation about your mental health and your business's prosperity.
Running a business in digital in tough
Operating an agency or freelance business can be incredibly challenging. We often launch into it believing it'll afford us a better quality of life, but, paradoxically, we end up more stressed, clocking in longer hours than we ever anticipated.
Navigating the constant pursuit of new clients, coupled with the solitude of being your own boss and meeting demanding clients' expectations can be overwhelming.
We frequently find ourselves caught in the crossfire between delivering stellar work and making a profit, which can leave many of us feeling disheartened and burnt out.
That's why today, nothing brings me more professional fulfillment than mentoring agency owners and freelancers. It's genuinely rewarding to guide them past the pitfalls I stumbled upon and witness their businesses flourishing instead.
In fact, I'd like to invest more time coaching agencies and freelancers, and that's essentially why I'm writing to you. I am looking to focus more of my business on supporting agencies and freelancers such as yourself. I want to help ensure your business thrives - and importantly, that it works for you and not the other way around.
How my coaching works
My coaching approach is straightforward. You purchase a 'time bank' of hours from me, and you use these hours however suits you best. Be it arranging Zoom calls to discuss matters, sending over documents for review, firing off an email with a question, or engaging in a Slack chat. Whatever works best for you, works for me.
You have total control over our conversation topics, and there's no set program to follow. Instead, I serve as a sounding board and a trustworthy, impartial advisor to support your business operations.
To be transparent, my rates aren't the lowest. However, the more hours you purchase at once, the more cost-effective it becomes. Here's a breakdown:
4–6 hours: £195 per hour.
7–12 hours: £185 per hour.
13-24 hours: £175 per hour.
25+ hours: £165 per hour.
Don't let the cost stop you getting support
I understand if my fees seem out of reach. I've been in that situation too. However, not being able to afford my coaching services doesn't mean you need to navigate the challenges alone.
Consider joining my Slack channel. It's a thriving community of agency owners and freelancers. Find a peer with whom you can exchange ideas. Someone outside your immediate situation who you can trust. It can truly help lighten the load and possibly uncover new strategies that might not have crossed your mind.
It's also beneficial to have someone to hold you accountable, encouraging you to invest as much time and energy into your own business as you do for your clients.
While I would love to have you to use my coaching services, that's not the only reason for this email. It's inspired by recent conversations with some new clients, who have shared just how tough they're finding things and how utterly drained they feel.
It doesn't have to be this way. Whether you engage me or someone else, please, don't shoulder the burden alone.
Remember, even if my coaching services aren't feasible for you at the moment, I'm here if you need someone to talk to. Don't hesitate to hit reply.
