Luck Is The Byproduct of Strategic Preparation
Success isn't born, it's made. To us, success is a science. We don't believe in luck, fate or magic — only cause & effect. Our method focuses on the things with "causality", not social popularity. We follow results and data, not the crowd.
We do education differently
The traditional method of education is broken, so we came up with our own. Instead of treating
education as a linear mechanical process, we treat it as a non-linear symbiotic process (like nature).
Linear education (old)
Most universities and online courses use a linear education system that resembles an assembly line.The student consumes unpersonalized information and then is expected to achieve real world results.
Non-linear education (new)
Freelancing.LLC uses a non-linear education system that resembles the symbiotic process of nature. We provide an environment, building blocks, mental reprogramming, real world application and feedback so you can optimize for and achieve your life goals.
How our method works
Traditional education systems produce cookie-cutter humans with no souls or uniqueness.
We provide students with an environment and building blocks — then we let emergence happen.
Environment
A students ability to grow is heavily influenced by their environment. We provide the ultimate learning environment with online community, accountability, live Q&A;'s and mentorship.
Building blocks
Students are unique and creative, so instead of killing that part of them (like most), we provide them with building blocks of information and let them arrange them anyway they like!
Mental reprogramming
The #1 killer of education is psychological, not logical. For students to learn and evolve, we must reprogram their minds to enhance awareness, cognition and remove delusions.
Real-world application
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not. We cover the theory, then instantly apply it in the real world to see what happens. This creates "thinker doers".
Real-world goals
Certificates and degrees are abstractions that don't reflect reality and give false entitlement.Our students don't get certificates, they aim for, optimize and achieve the real-world goal.
Real-world feedback
Learning requires feedback so students can measure progress and iterate actions to improve. Our students get feedback from the market, not quizzes, tests or assignments.
We teach the full stack
Most courses teach a specific skill like sales or marketing, this creates clueless freelancers who don't understand the whole. To succeed in business you need to learn the "full stack" — five interconnected layers of consciousness built ontop of each other
Mental awareness — Identity, purpose, discipline, beliefs
Mental cognition — Focus, plans, prioritize, problem solving
Business principles — Frameworks, concepts, mental models
Business disciplines — Strategy, product, marketing, sales
Business processes — Tools, systems, workflows, metrics
All five layers are explained below...
Layer 1. Mental awareness
Mental awareness is the boot loader for everything. It's responsible for your identity, self image, belief systems,
awareness of your own actions, thoughts and behavior.
It's the "awake and alert" function that allows you to catch things, identify patterns, think rationally and avoid delusions, and your ability to self control and self discipline when emotions kick in.
We start our work here by flushing out delusions, rebuilding identities and making people more conscious of reality.
Taking ownership
Understanding that your life situation is nobody's doing but your own. You create it.
Self awareness
Becoming aware of who you are, psychology, self image, biases, interests, behavior patterns.
Changing your identity
Taking a baseline of your current identity, designing a new one and growing into it.
Making the unconscious conscious
Understanding the hidden reasons that drive your unwanted behavior and decisions.
Hyper-aware pattern recognition
Catching your own thought and behavior patterns as they fire and before you respond.
Rebuilding belief systems
Taking an audit of everything you believe to be true and rebuilding it from the ground up.
Limbic system awareness
Becoming aware of your emotions, impulses, desires, motivations and how to change them.
Feedback loop intervention
Understanding the exponential function of consciousness. Hacking it up catching it down.
Transcending binary logic
Understanding the flaws and limitations of duality, binary logic. How to think non-linear.
Laser-like focus
How to shut out the noise and concentrate intensely for extended periods of time at will.
Self-discipline & impulse control
How to control your impulses, stick to plans, see things through and never waver on goals.
Machine-like consistency
Developing extreme grit so that you can work 12-hour days, 6-day weeks, for years on end.
Layer 2. Mental cognition
Mental awareness is the boot loader for everything. It's responsible for your identity, self image, belief systems,
awareness of your own actions, thoughts and behavior.
It's the "awake and alert" function that allows you to catch things, identify patterns, think rationally and avoid delusions, and your ability to self control and self discipline when emotions kick in.
We start our work here by flushing out delusions, rebuilding identities and making people more conscious of reality.
Problem solving
Defining the problem, using scientific method to hypothesize solutions, testing and iteration.
Critical thinking
Questioning everything, thinking objectively and independently to form judgements.
Prioritization
Gathering and arranging items or activities in order of importance relative to each other.
Planning and scheduling
Thinking long-term, defining goals, reverse engineering, chunking, scheduling, delegating.
Decision making
Rapidly gathering relevant information, making tradeoffs and deciding what needs to be done.
Structuring and organizing
Categorizing, defining, labeling, structuring and optimizing everything for optimal efficiency.
Resource allocation
Allocating time, focus and energy to important things while ignoring non-important things.
Perception
Looking at things from different perspectives and consolidating based on all points of view.
Analysis and understanding
Detailed examination of the elements or structure of something to form understanding.
Visual mapping
Mental visualization of information by identifying objects and interconnections.
Systems thinking
Holistic understanding of systems, inputs, processes, outputs, feedback and environment.
Divergent and convergent thinking
Thinking of many possible paths and collapsing them to decide on the best single path.
Layer 3. Business principles
Business principles are fundamental beliefs, rules, or values that represent what is desirable and positive for the business and the people within it. Business principles together form a philosophy.
We think differently about business, we see it as analytical, quantitative, scientific and more "engineering" than "charismatic". We have a bias towards value and results, not social popularity.
We teach our students our idiosyncratic business philosophy and allow them to adopt it as their own or edit it so that its more personally aligned to their own beliefs and philosophy.
Freelancing.LLC's business philosophy is built on 15 principles:
Taking ownership
Understanding that your life situation is nobody's doing but your own. You create it.
Self awareness
Becoming aware of who you are, psychology, self image, biases, interests, behavior patterns.

Taking a baseline of your current identity, designing a new one and growing into it.

Layer 4. Business disciplines
Business disciplines are specific branches of knowledge relating
to business functions like: sales, marketing, product, operations, accounting, legal, support and management.
Most online courses cover one discipline, this creates single
skilled workers who get eaten alive in business. We teach you multiple disciplines so that you can start and grow a business yourself, moving quickly, without hiring contractors or staff.
We create polymath entrepreneurs that are multi-discipline and pack the firepower of 30 people in one. Imagine outproducing 30 people in 1/3 the time. That's what we refer to as "full stack".
Below are some of the disciplines you'll learn in our courses:
Business fundamentals
Picking a niche, identifying problems, finding opportunities, market validation, pricing.
Product development
Designing, delivering and improving differentiated products customers love.

Strategy

Layer 5. Business processes
Business processes are sets of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular result. Every business discipline has multiple business processes that sit on top. Think of them as step-by-step instructions, like a recipe for baking a cake, except for anything!
Example: Marketing is a business discipline where you
understand the theory of how it works. But to actually execute successful marketing, you need to know the step-by-step instructions of creating ads, adjusting budgets, measuring KPI's, troubleshooting errors, etc.
Most online courses teach you high level theories with vague instructions on how to execute the theories in the real world. This leaves students clueless about how to execute what they know and actually get results.
We teach our students the big picture, the details, and every layer
in between. Our courses show you how to start and grow a profitable business with instructions that go as detailed as what buttons to click and what works to write. (seriously... it's nuts).
