To everyone here, I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and more importantly, I hope you all have tremendous blessings in which to reflect on and be thankful for this holiday season. I am thankful that the Lord has blessed me with the independence and ability to make it as a business owner, for the wisdom He has bestowed upon me to deepen and extend my roots among my network, and for the people He's allowed me to connect with since beginning the journey! Safe travels to those doing so this week, and enjoy the time you have with family! God Bless -Lauren

Hey everyone — Samer here. I’m really glad you made it in. Freelancing can be exciting, overwhelming, lonely, freeing…all at the same time. I’ve felt all of that myself, especially early on. If you’ve ever felt stuck, second-guessed yourself, or wondered if you’re “doing any of this right,” you’re in the right place. Our goal is simple: help you build a freelance business that actually works — without doing it alone. Why This Community Exists... Inside The Lab, you’ll get: - Daily & weekly action steps - Guided accountability - Real support on demand when you’re stuck - Live coaching + strategy help - A community that genuinely wants you to win Freelancers don’t fail because they’re not good. They fail because they try to figure it all out in isolation. This space exists so you don’t have to do that. A Little About Me (and Why I Care) I’ve been freelancing for 20+ years — and it wasn’t glamorous at the start. I made every mistake you can make. I underpriced myself, I overworked myself, and I learned most things the hard way. Eventually, things clicked. I’ve now earned over $10M freelancing, including $4M+ on Upwork, ranked in the top 1%, managed over $1B in ad spend, and have been featured in places like Entrepreneur, Business Insider, and the Upwork Conference. But if I’m being honest…none of that matters as much as this: I know what it’s like to struggle — and I don’t want you to go through the early years the way I did. That’s why we built the Freelance Freedom Lab or "The Lab" for short 😃 Not to show off results… but to shorten the path to YOUR results. Start Here (Your First 3 Steps) 1. Introduce yourself — who you are + what you do 2. Share your #1 freelancing challenge right now 3. Tell us your top goal for the next 90 days This helps me (and the entire community) support you immediately. A Quick Note About What’s Ahead You’re here early — which means you’re part of building this with us. The full Lab experience — classroom, roadmap, and full coaching lineup — officially launches January 5, 2026. But the community, support, accountability, and live help start right now.
