Do you have five years or more of nonprofit experience?

If you’re willing to do the work, you can set the terms.

Remote contractors are in demand:

• Communications
• Development
• Executive leadership
• And much more…

“I’d still report to the same people,” you might think. “Why bother?”

It’s NOT about becoming “overemployed” or getting rich overnight.

It’s about protecting your dignity and your interests.

Even though the goal is to make a difference…

It’s NOT all sunshine and rainbows in nonprofit.

Ever taken a role at a “great” organization only to look around and think:

“Wow, this isn’t what I expected at all.”

If so, you already understand exactly why going from full-time to contract may be wise.

It’s a sad fact: Not all nonprofit organizations are well-run.

The same is true of for-profit businesses.

Many organizations are “tyrant kingdoms” beholden to the egos of a few elites.

In such an organizational, your fundamental human dignity is only safe until the next tantrum.

But as a contractor, when you see a mismatch between what you have to offer and what the organization is prepared to respect, you can take action. In fact, you are expected to.

In any poorly run organization, this rule of thumb reigns supreme:

• Full-time employees are hired for their obedience.
  
• Contract employees are hired for their skills.

If you’re a full-time employee, leaving is a whole production.

As a contractor, you can say, “Seeya—wouldn’t wanna be ya!”

It’s a night-and-day difference.

You can have the biggest say.

No matter your area of expertise, becoming a contractor means having a business.

This is the part where I’m supposed to regale you with tales of “setting your own hours,” “being your own boss,” and “writing your own check.” But what if we just skip the nonsense instead?

Going to contract might NOT be right for you…

But as long as you have the skills to deliver real results, it’s not as hard as you think.

Here’s why:

• As a remote contractor, every nonprofit in the United States is a potential employer.
  
• With 2-4 clients, you can have a full-time income AND give every org a huge savings.
  
• Organizations have no need to keep you to themselves—they can refer new clients.
  

The first few months are a lift…

The rest is as challenging as YOU want it to be.

You don’t have to be the world’s greatest expert to be an effective, productive contractor.

You simply have to provide results without the overhead of a full-time employee.

And you already can.

For a project-based fee or a monthly retainer, you can:

• Get the income you need without having to hope raises outrun inflation.
• Help clients, especially small and mid-sized, avoid huge commercial rent.
• Deliver services with a 70%-80% discount over full-time, in-office staff.

You might think starting your own business is a hassle.

You might think finding your first client takes forever.

You might be unsure you can be productive with WFH.

I’ll help you, one step at a time, until you get there.

The trick is planning, so you get back enough money (and time!) to justify the work you put in.

Without this step, you might do nothing but buy yourself another exhausting, miserable J-O-B.

I’ve been there. That’s why I want to help you succeed.

Here’s how it works:

Your journey starts with four questions.

They’re the basis of your new business.

Having a clear picture of what you want to do and how is the first step toward reaching your goal.

We’ll talk about your ideal results, then build a bridge to that outcome.

You might wonder: “If the questions are simple, why not do it myself?”

You can. Many do. And 45% of new businesses fail within five years.

Why take a 50/50 shot on your future?

Even when your goal is “just” to switch to contract, you can set yourself up to fail in these early months.

With years of experience helping others just like you, I’m here to help you avoid the pitfalls.

By the end, you’ll have:

• Rock-solid clarity on exactly what you hope to achieve in your switch to contract work.
  
• A clear action plan to get started without having to quit your job or burn your bridges.
• Greater confidence that, by doing things the right way, YOU can succeed in your goal.

You know what you have to offer. Now you need to know who your ideal clients are.

Not “okay” clients. Not “good enough for now” clients. Ideal clients!

The #1 mistake contractors make is being “everything to everyone.”

They think if they get “too” niche, they’ll be turning business away.

Here’s the problem: If you try to appeal to everybody, you end up appealing to nobody.

It’s just that simple.

I know—nobody likes “selling themselves.”

I will help you discover exactly how your skills intersect with the needs of organizations you want to work for.

You’ll never need to sell yourself, only the change you can help achieve.

By the end, you’ll have:

• Techniques to communicate what you do, who you do it for, and why your way works.
• Clarity on exactly what you’ll offer (and validation that paying customers are waiting!)
• A customized checklist to zero in on your ideal clients, saving you thousands of hours.
  

This is the part all too many people get backwards.

There’s no point getting involved with a complicated website, logo, and other junk—

Unless someone out there really wants to pay what you charge for what you have to offer.

The difference between a job and a business is simple: in a business, you own the relationships with customers.

Those relationships make your shift to contract possible. That’s why it’s crucial to get your offer in front of people.

I’ll teach  you how to find and connect with potential clients without the slimy, transactional feeling.

You can build rapport for mutual benefit… and ongoing business you can rely on.

By the end, you’ll have:

• A shortlist of potential clients you can feel confident about doing good work for.
• A proven method for approaching clients even with no connections in common.
• A timetable of action steps, maximizing your ability to get your very first client.
