“I LOVED Maggie’s freelance training. It not only inspired me, but it gave me particular "to-do's" that are attainable and make sense. In particular, I really appreciate the straightforward writing style; it's an easy but packed read -- packed full of practical ideas that are presented in a respectful but challenging way.
Maggie addresses the whole phenomenon of the aspiring writer's "mindset." She gives the reader an uplifting reminder that you are the only one that can be determined and decide to succeed. This was a turning point for me.
After taking Maggie’s advice, I realized that my fears really were holding me back and that I was the only one that could break free of them. So I resolved to get my freedom. I set about honing my skills and polished my writing -- and then I just put myself out there. I submitted proposals, I refused to get discouraged, and kept referring back to Maggie's information as I went along. I made $225 in my first week.
And then an amazing thing started to happen. I started to get clients. I never thought I would actually make it to this point. It took about six months to see strong results, but here I am, getting clients regularly, and even getting repeat clients. I have my own online editing and writing business now called Eagle-Eye Editing. It's a great, great feeling, and the rewards are definitely worth whatever struggle you go through on the way. I'm getting paid. And I'm getting paid by REPEAT clients. Her training made all the difference between me sitting and staring at the computer and actually putting my skills to work. I risked enough to "get out of my comfort zone," as Maggie says, and it continues to pay off. I really thought I couldn't do this at one time. Now I'm confident enough to branch out and try my hand at assignments that would have been too daunting to me in the past. Thank you Maggie Linders for leading me out of a crushing sense of inability into an exhilarating sense of self-empowerment!!”
