Solopreneurs making over $10K/mo don't need to add. They need to eliminate. I help with that. • Bootstrapped $3M agency owner • Creating custom (and easy) systems is my love language. ☕

What if the reason you’re earning less is because you’re hustling too much?

I help agency owners, solopreneurs, and freelancers scale with flow…and here’s why I do, because the way you and I were taught to scale is a trash fire of complexity, meaningless work, and servitude to clients we should have never signed to begin with.

THE ORIGIN:

In year 7 of our agency, we hit $1M ARR, hit Global Top 1000 in digital marketing, and I burned out…twice.

In 2022…

— I got on 21.8 hours in meetings per week
— Had some panic attacks and slept 2 hours per night
— Thought I was going to die on an airplane

In 2023, I was desperate for change so I…

— Sent one email that eliminated 75 hours/month in meetings
— Kept it simple (no outreach, ads, or hiring)
— Upsold existing clients and improved retention

THE RESULT:

In short, I accidentally discovered a better way.

→ 70 hour weeks turned into 8 hour weeks
→ 21 hours/week in meetings turned into 2 hours/week
→ $1M ARR turned into $2.5M ARR 12 months later

THE MINDSET SHIFT:

Hmmmm…..

Maybe doing more to earn more is bogus.

Maybe saying yes to everything (and every client) PREVENTS us from creating the life we want.

Maybe our business is calling the shots instead of us.

THE NEW PATH:

I fell into coaching in 2024 kicking and screaming.

Y’know why?

Anybody can learn something, market it well, and teach it…having only done it for themselves.

THE DELUSIONAL GAME CHANGERS:

But the truth is…scaling with flow, not hustle, has helped dozens in the last two years.

Like:

Jacob P.
STARTED: $20K/mo + 8 hrs/day in meetings
NOW: 3-day work week, a few meetings a week, $40K+ months consistently

Luis T.
STARTED: 20% close rates on monthly payment plans
NOW: Closing a few pay in fulls every month, building a cabin in the mountains

Kevin R.
STARTED: Tied to Slack, overwhelmed, alone, $50K/mo
NOW: Looks at messages twice a day, more family time, hit $100K/mo

And dozens more.

I’m on earth to help people scale with flow, on their terms, and make it fun again.

If you want to learn more, just head to [autonomymodel.com] and decide if you vibe.

Otherwise, follow along with me here.

WHY STICK AROUND?

Because I share it all. Good, bad, ugly.

No gatekeeping. No influencing.

Thanks for being here.

And if you want to see something specific from me, drop me a message and tell me what you need.

I read every message.

Halfway through this new coffee recipe and it's tops...

Turmeric Golden Latte

1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp espresso concentrate (I've been using Jot for 4 years now)
8 oz hot milk (dairy or non)

Here's my new approach to LinkedIn.

It's a corner table in a coffee shop.

When I hop on here, it won't be doctored up or perfected posts.

It'll be me sitting, with my coffee, while my kids aren't asking me to watch a somersault.

Today's value: try something new.

I usually rock an iced latte everyday but the snow outside said, "Switch it up."

And I'm glad I did.

Just because it's winter, you're locked in your home office, and you're at the stage of life where you're not taking an expensive trip every 3 months doesn't mean you can't have a meaningful experience.

Read a book that's outside the norm (I'm reading about Hygge)

Try a new coffee you haven't had (the recipe's up there)

Send a random note to someone in your phone you haven't contacted in over a year (I just spoke to Paul Pirie after 2+ years and it was F'ing delightful).

This is the kind of stuff I love to read. So I'm going to write it.

And if you want deeper stories where I teach something, you'll find those here: colbywegter.com

I help founders running chaotic, founder-led businesses turn them into calm, profitable, self-running ones in 6 months or less. 👉 colbywegter.com

Most freelance creatives don’t have a creativity problem.
They have a stability problem.

One good month. One bad month.
Random clients. Random projects. Random income.

Feast or famine on repeat.

Not because they’re not talented, not because they don’t have amazing creative skills,

But because no one ever taught them the necessary business skills. 

The Better Freelancer changes that.

Better Freelancers don’t wait to be chosen.

They create their own opportunities.
They build systems that produce steady income.
They control their pricing, their time, and their future.

I created The Better Freelancer after 23 years as a freelance creative.

And as an entrepreneur building 6-figure creative businesses from scratch.

I know firsthand about instability, about rebuilding, and about the entire journey.

From surviving… to thriving.

Now I teach other fellow creatives how to:

✔ Build a real pipeline for clients/work
✔ Generate predictable income
✔ Step into the essential business-owner mindset
✔ Escape the feast-or-famine for good
✔ Create stability, confidence, and control over your life

If you’re done waiting and hoping you can somehow just "get by,"

If you're ready to build something steady, scalable, and yours,

The Better Freelancer is your next step.

Simple reminder for all Freelance Creatives: 

If you don’t learn to appreciate the value you bring,
You’ll never be paid equal to the value you deserve. 

-Bring value.
-Price for value.
-And demand value. 

That means valuing you.

Charge accordingly.  


 P.S. Yes, you are worth it.

The most successful Freelancers I've known always had more tenacity than talent.  

Talent goes far.

Determination goes the distance.

There's a poison 99% of Freelance Creatives continue to take:

Believing that creative skills alone are the solution
And that business skills are optional, or even worse,

Acting like those are someone else's responsibility.

Believe it or not,

As a freelancer,
You actually are running a business...

Yours.

Act accordingly.

Freelancing as a career was never meant to be stable
Because it was never meant to be your goal.

It's just the gateway.

It was never built to last
Because you were never meant to stay.

You're meant to evolve.

To build from it.
Not to depend on it.

To rise beyond it.
Not to rely on it.

Because you’re not just a hired hand.
Not just some gig chaser.

You are an artist,
A dedicated expert.

And you were never meant to live
Beneath your true value.

You’re something greater.
Something more.

Something better.

The ultimate freelancing unlock is simple:

It’s not knowing more about
How to do the work. 

It’s knowing more about
How to get the work.

You don’t need to get better at your craft,

You need to get better at marketing and selling it.
