What makes Brian a Six Figure Freelancer?

Great question, and one that I constantly wrestle with. I think what separates me from others, or what makes my clients come back is my obsession with turning out the best work in the shortest amount of time possible. My years in the agency world helped me to understand the pace of the work necessary to keep things moving forward. I don’t compromise the integrity of the quality of “big ideas” I just self vet concepts in order to arrive at a solution that not only check the boxes for the client, but exposes other thought tangents and opportunities that those solutions may create. I don’t say NO much, and I don’t miss deadlines. Clients often ask what my sleep habits are, and in reality I wouldn’t call them habits, as there is no pattern. There are times that sleep is plentiful, and other times, it is a short break between projects.
