Coaching for Online Freelancers
Why Work With a Coach?
 Starting an online freelancing business isn't easy. We know because we've been there.
Even if you were highly successful in your full-time career, freelancing requires a completely different set of skills. You need to learn how to market yourself, write winning proposals, build a portfolio that inspires confidence, and consistently win projects. Then, once you start getting clients, you need to transform your freelancing into a sustainable, profitable business.
When Winston Churchill founded Barefoot Consultants, he developed training programs that helped thousands of people begin their freelancing journey. While many succeeded, he also saw that many talented people became discouraged and gave up—not because they lacked skills, but because they needed guidance, encouragement, and someone to help them overcome the inevitable obstacles.
That's why the Certified Barefoot Consultant® Coaching Program was created.
Patty and Robert became Certified Barefoot Consultant® Coaches in 2019 and have since helped hundreds of freelancers launch and grow successful online businesses. We work with you one-on-one to provide practical advice, accountability, and proven strategies that help you move forward faster.
