I plan on joining the festivities and have the Holiday Hangout on the calendar 🎄 Who's planning on going?! If anyone lives north of the city and wants a ride, I'm coming from Milwaukee and could pick you up! You can ride in style in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler 😂 Looking forward to meeting new friends and seeing familiar faces :)

Am new here

Excited to Be Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to be part of Skool IRL: Chicago and can’t wait to meet more action-takers in person. What really drew me here is the mix of real conversations, real connections, and real growth. I’m looking forward to: ✅ Learning from experienced community builders ✅ Connecting with people who actually take action, not just talk ✅ Experiencing Chicago in a fun, energetic way with like-minded builders I’m all about networking, learning fast, and surrounding myself with the right people and this community feels like the perfect place for that. If you’re around Chicago or attending any of the meetups, I’d love to link up and connect in person. Let’s build something great together!

🔥 Meet fellow Skoolers and drink FREE BEER! It’s all going down at Ope tonight 🍻 OPE! Brewing Company 6751 W National Ave, West Allis, WI 53214 4pm-7pm

Freelancing looks very different from the outside than it does on the inside. Some days feel like success-getting a new client, finishing a project you’re proud of, or receiving positive feedback. Those moments remind us why we chose this path. Other days feel like failure-projects getting delayed, clients disappearing, or not getting replies after sending many proposals. These moments can be frustrating and make us question ourselves. But in freelancing, success and failure are not opposites. They exist together. Every rejection teaches us how to improve our communication. Every difficult client helps us set better boundaries. Every slow month pushes us to learn new skills or rethink our strategy. Success in freelancing is not about never failing. It’s about staying consistent, learning from mistakes, and showing up again even when things don’t go as planned. If you’re freelancing and experiencing ups and downs, you’re not doing it wrong-you’re doing it for real.
