Not sure if you want to attend? Check out this feedback from previous attendees:
"This was a truly wonderful event for someone looking to break into freelancing. The information and advice given by the speakers was practical and immediately actionable. I've attended many events where the key takeaway is "chase your passion" or "believe in yourself". I told one of the speakers this and her response was gold: "That's total bullshit". Not only was all the information practical, but the speakers were highly engaging and at the perfect junctures in their careers to be relatable in their success."
"The community was just amazing! There was a feeling amongst all the attendees that we were in a supportive environment and building a lasting network of people who are compassionate and empathetic. There wasn't the typical feeling of "what can you do for me". Thank you Jillian and Melissa!"
FAQ:
I'm not a freelancer, but am thinking about making the transition. Should I come to Hustle Fest?
Hell yes! Hustle Fest is designed to be a "choose-your-own-adventure" day. There are workshops for everyone, from those with a freelance twinkle in their eye to the pros who've been self-employed for years.
Is this event for all types of freelancers?
We've kept the programming broad. That way, independent workers of all shapes and sizes can walk away with some "I just learned a bunch" swagger.
I want to plan my day! Where's the agenda?
Easy, tiger! A more detailed schedule of programming will be shared soon.
Who's the best freelancer in the land?
You are, friend. You are.
