Enlightening. Invigorating. Inspiring.

These three words best encapsulate the event put on by Freelance University. Learning came easily in this relaxed, non-judgmental environment; Craig Cannings is an excellent teacher, and my fellow students were equally encouraging and open.

He took us from defining our vision to launching our growth plan. I now feel so much more prepared (and motivated!) to really pursue my online ideas, and truly make it happen!! 😀”

    If you're curious about freelancing after the age of 50, this event is for you! We'll be specifically talking about freelancing as it relates to those who are over the age of 50.
