Freelance Is The Future
Let’s see if you relate to any of these.
More and more people are:
😔 Feeling uninspired by the work they do
😔 Getting fed up with their boring desk jobs
😔 Feeling burned out from their boss’s constant demands
😔 Having enough of dealing with office politics
😔 Feeling guilty for missing out on their children’s birthday parties
😔 Finding the day to day grind to be boring, redundant, and meaningless
More and more people yearn for the freedom to do what they want, whenever and wherever they want, with whoever they want.
BUT, at the same time:
🤩 Earning enough to pay the bills and support their family
🤩 Finding people they trust and respect to work with or collaborate with
🤩 And perhaps most importantly, doing work that is meaningful and fulfilling
That can’t be said of most 9-5 jobs…
That is why, here at The Freelancers Academy, our mission remains the same.
To elevate the profession of freelancing.
One gig at a time.
One person at a time.
One summit at a time.
The TFA summit is an annual celebration of the freelancing journey, where freelancers at every stage and from all walks of life come together to help one another build thriving freelance businesses.

Except maybe bigger, better, and bolder!
