I Got Laid Off. 90 Days Later I Was Making $15K/Month. Here's Exactly What I Did.

I got laid off from a corporate job. 90 days later, I had two consulting clients and was making $15K/month.

This is the full breakdown of everything I did – from taking time off to solo travel through the every country from the Yugoslavia nations (if you hadn’t noticed, my last name is actually Yugoslavian!) to figuring out how to get my first clients and actually develop an entire program of marketing services for them as a consultant, to hiring my first contractors which led me to building a content agency. I did not go back to school, or listen to podcasts, or take a course. I just did the actual work, and figured it out as I went.

In this video I cover:
– The 3 weeks I took off before starting anything
– How I prospected clients (8 calls, 10 emails, 1 LinkedIn message)
– How I pitched, what I charged, and how I negotiated
– The 30-60-90 day plan I used for each client
– Why I was working 30 hours when I quoted 10
– The moment I realized I was building an agency
– 5 lessons if you’re starting your own thing
