@grace_lemire: I am so grateful for and proud of what I built with my freelance marketing company. 🥹 but it’s the end of an era. I started it fresh out of college with 0 experience, built it to be my full-time income within just a few months, and grew it to over six figures in just over a year. I am so proud of 22 year old Grace. A year after launching it, I started posting online with the goal to help people live better lives. Over time, it’s grown into so much more than I could’ve imagined. At the end of 2025, I stopped feeling as excited about freelancing. Like no inbounds were projects I was dying to work on, so I prayed about it. I asked God to make it so abundantly clear which direction I was meant to go and remove what wasn’t for me. Not even a week later, a client abruptly paused their contract. Then I got more info about where my other two clients were at and truly felt in my heart that the work we were doing wasn’t furthering their current marketing goals, so I let them know…and our contracts wound down. All the pieces fell right into place and I knew it was the right decision, at least for now. Content creation has unlimited income potential and unmatched flexibility, two things I started my freelancing business for. It is also SO fulfilling to me. To find something that provides all of this at such a young age is a blessing I can’t ignore. I recognize the privilege in even being able to make a decision like this, and I am eternally grateful to every person who’s watched my content, because it wouldn’t be possible without you. But above all of that, I hope that both stories—starting the freelance business and going full-time creator—show you what’s possible. I am just a normal girl who decided to take a leap of faith and figure it out as I went because the life I dreamt of was worth going after. And I had the grit to show up for that dream every single day for the last 5 years. And with that, if you’ve ever been interested in my freelance course, now is the time to grab it! I will likely close enrollment indefinitely in the near future (current students, you have lifetime access to the program and me don’t worry!!). #freelancing #entrepreneurship

Can you share how you got your first 3 clients? What are things you wish you did for your first 3 clients that you didn’t do.

I’m brand new here and not sure exactly what you used to do (still scrolling back bingeing all your videos, I’ll get there 😂) but I’m a freelance writer — I help healthcare and tech companies with their content marketing — and would love to connect on LinkedIn in case you ever have any relevant leads you’re looking to refer!

Good for you!! Get that bag! If you ever consider referring other freelancers, I’m a social freelancer / consultant after working at Nickelodeon Consumer Products and Calvin Klein (grew the page to 2.6M) and looking to grow my client list. 🥰

Congratulations!! 🍾 Good luck on your shift to content full time! I’m currently torn between fulfilling my creative passion through Marketing vs Content Creation. If you were starting over today with all you know now, would you go all-in on content from the beginning? 🤔

Why don’t you just increase your freelance rate? It would lighted your plate and you could keep clients that can afford the rate that matches your content rate

I want to do social media managing. I am not sure if I want to be there. I love sales more but the creativity for managing and marketing is different … I can’t get this straight

Been building a freelance business since January this year! Specialising in systems and automation, with some marketing, digital design, web design and more. Kind of been saying yes to anything and everything coming my way but I wonder if that will start to stretch me too thin?? I also have taken on a 9-5 while things in freelancing are still building. Hoping one day I can go full time freelancing!
