👍👍 agree

I make $20-60k/m pretty easily — been freelance all my life. Employee mindset is what holds 99.9% of people back. A couple times I make over $100k/m

Agencies are “broke” because the C suite class are bleeding them dry and mismanaging.

Half or more of my income is NOT from agencies.

Agencies generally avoid hiring freelancers and always make sure they’re still making a profit if they do. The exception is investing in pitches.
