I am super grateful for the help Orwell has given me, he streamlined my chaotic thinking and been an absolute game changaaaa to my confidence!

I love that he always guides me to the answer of any queries, rather than answering them straight out - it makes learning much more engaging!

This has been the absolute best thing I’ve ever done for my career 💖💖

Working with Orwell has been a life changing experience for me. He's the voice of reason I use with my clients but can't ever give to myself and he's a wicked guide when it comes to overcoming the mental hurdles that pop up.

I can't recommend him enough if you are sick of overworking and being under paid. You deserve to have a life and enjoy your work. Just hire him.

Before I started working with Orwell I felt like I was butting into a world that didn't want me. I was just getting by, doing odds and ends of work and I didn't know what I needed to know to make my situation better.

Through Orwell's mentoring I've massively gained in confidence in my work, in how I deal with clients and how I run my business. He helped me develop my voice, my brand style and produce designs that felt more me.

Now I'm working consistently on client projects, I've raised my prices and I have the confidence to choose projects that benefit me, my business and my career.

He's the perfect mentor.

Orwell has helped me see sense and build confidence in what I'm doing. I knew nothing about pricing, about defining my worth and seeing my value.

He's helped guide me before important pitches and meetings and encourages me to keep going when I'm not feeling the best. I feel more clear in my messaging and the actions I need to take to progress to where I want to be.

He's brilliant!

I really appreciated Orwell's insights. His friendly and open nature made the session super productive, and I'm thrilled we could connect in a meaningful way.

Orwell's mentoring has been invaluable for me in the last few months as I continue to grow my business. He has a wealth of experience to pull from, he's eager to see his students succeed and he's generous with his time.

You're in good hands with this guy.

Orwell gave me a big boost in confidence as a designer.

Definitely would recommend talking to him because he knows his stuff.

Orwell has helped me develop my own marketing plan from an organic approach. I have learnt many valuable lessons from him.

He’s helped me gain confidence in launching my own business and leaving employment forever!

This man is a really good teacher!

Orwell is an inspirational professional that has the ability to recognise the designer´s effort for perfectionism.

You're interested so far but...

What do you actually get?

A clear roadmap to your goals

When you’re working alone, it’s easy to get pulled from idea to idea, following the latest thing you’ve seen online, never quite knowing if what you’re doing is right for you. You need someone to quieten that excess noise and help you create a clear roadmap that you can follow towards your wildest goals so you can create the life you want.

Purposeful action!

Action that you can feel in your bones is pushing you to where you want to be. No more days spent staing at a screen wondering if this is right. You’ll step up and take action that gets you results. Set the goal, make the plan and take the massive action to get you there.

The benefit of my years of experience

There’s a reason the best sports coaches have played at an elite level. They know how to execute at that level. The knowledge I share with you has been built up over years of freelancing, designing and working with clients. You get the lessons and skills you need at the time you need them.

Honest feedback

No more pondering if your idea is worth trying or spending days wondering why something isn’t quite working. We discuss, refine and perfect so you’re executing in the way only you can. Bringing your uniqueness out in every pixel and every sylable. Doing it your way so when people see you they trust you implicitly, know what you’re saying is right and fall over themselevs to hire you.

Someone in your corner who gets it

Unwavering support is great. Unwavering support from someone who understands where you’re at is invaluable. It helps you see yourself as the incredible, talented, hardworking person you are. It allows you to be supported through the challenging moments without taking your eyes off your goals. It allows you to continually grow, continually push yourself outside of your comfort zone where the real change happens.

But I don't give you everything...

What's not included?

Me doing the work for you.
I can show you the way but I can’t walk it for you.

Me chasing you to do the work.
You’re an adult, I can’t make you do anything. I can help you see what’s stopping you, what’s holding you back, and outline the steps to make the change you want. I can give you the right training at the right time and you have to decide to do it or not.

24/7 access to Orwell.
I’m here to support you, but to be the person you need me to be I need my evenings, weekends and holidays. I can’t encourage you to create a freelance lifestyle you love and not do it myself.

Look, honestly, this isn't for everyone...

Who is mentoring not for?

New freelancers with zero experience in their field

Anyone prone to making excuses

Anyone looking for a get-rich-quick scheme

Anyone who won’t show up to sessions, follow the process or put in the work

Anyone who feels they have enough of what they want

Down to the details...

What does it cost?

I’ve seen coaches and mentors who are providing similar (or worse) lessons charging 6000€ per month. That’s wild!

I don’t believe money should be an obstacle to someone trying to improve their situation. I want mentoring to be accessible to everyone!

So here’s what I charge:

One day’s work per month.

Whatever your day rate is, that’s what I charge for one month of mentoring.

That simple.

It keeps it fair, equal and accessible for everyone.

It means you only need one extra day of work per month to put yourself in a net positive!
And I know that with my help you’re more than capable of that 😉

You pay for the first 2 months up front and after that you pay monthly

Why do you pay two months up front??

Two reasons..

1. The first months of mentoring is where a lot of the big transformations happen
2. We commit at the level of our investment

The first payment hurts a bit so you’re committed to the investment. I want you committed so you put in the work and make the transformation you want.

Once you’re in, you’re in!

And once you’re in, you’re committed to working for your future.

I’ve mentored over 100 freelancers to help them earn more, work less and make their lives easier

What if I don’t like the mentoring program?

My style isn’t to hold people hostage. Plans change, needs change and sometimes budgets change too. Though, from experience, I believe mentoring will help your budget go up!

If you find yourself second-guessing the commitment, you and I will talk. You’ll tell me what’s going on and we’ll figure out the best path forward.
